I was only wanting to get the local channels so I can watch the SuperBowl if I dont make it home. I will more than likely be quite a long way from home. How do I even try to point it towards another satellite? When I go into the Pointing Menu, I dont see any other option but the 101. Thanks.

I have a new question. As you all know I carry my reciever and dish on the truck. The dish is a single LNB. Is it possible to point it toward whatever satellite necessary to recieve my local channels from home? If so, how do I go about pointing it in the corrected direction?

The center of the bolt, but even the the edge of the bolt is a long way from where it should be.

Just an update: Sinjce installing the Direct* system on my truck, all is going very well, can get it setup in about 5 minutes in most cases. The only strange thing is: that the "elevation" markings on the side of the dish are off by 10 deg. (if I need 45 deg I have to set it at 55 deg). I...

Gee why didnt I think of that? :what

I thought about the tripod approach, but being in truckstops with trucks constantly manuevering around each other, Im affraid the tripod would get in the way. I figured a way to get it plumb due to the amount of lateral movement by loosening the "U" bolts that hold the mast in place, I use a...

Installer got me all setup in the house and gave me an 18" single LNB dish for the truck. After a couple of hours of experimentation on the truck I finally got it setup (at the house). Now just need to practice and develope a system for setting up while on the road. Biggest problem I can see...

Yea I will probably do something like that or the VuQube in the future, but for now have to do it the hard way.

Jimbo, Yea I run cross country and never know where I will land from day to day. The Directv installer will be here tomorrow, maybe he can tell me if the setup I have on my truck will work or if I need to get a different dish. I know I will have to change the elevation and azimuth each time...

Thanks for the replies. Eventually I would like to get the VuQube, but will wait to see how much I use the satellite whle on the road. Can I set the tilt to 0 deg and only aim it at the 101 sat? or will I need to get a different dish? I have an extra single LNB DishNetwork dish, I dont...

Oh cool, thanx

Hi ya'll, Im a truck driver and just signed up for Directv. I am planning on taking one of the recievers on the truck with me, I have a acquired an extra dish ( this one has 3 "eyes"). I have it mounted on a mast on the back of the truck that I can raise and lower as well as rotate. My...
