Which Satellites will I need to be able to see?

[Diansul]

My location has a lot of trees and want to verify where a dish could be located. Can anyone tell me which DirecTV satellites I will need to be able to see for SD and HD? Or refer me to a site that has this information? My zip is 75605.

Azimuth 202.9 for 101 slot/bird Elevation 48.6 Tilt 67.8


HD =99-101-103 slots, some areas use 119 for SD locals at Azimuth 230.

Use a good magnetic compass to find azimuth.

You're going to need to get just about everything, from my eyes.

I looked up your locals at : DIRECTV - Local Channels , and assumed Gregg County

Your SD locals are on 119.
Not 100% sure, but your HD locals are likely at 103 (spaceway 1)

so, you're going to need a 5LNB dish, sorry.

Thanks, guys, that is what I thought, but I just wanted to confirm.

Locals should be receivable OTA not easily because of multiple directions but 45 miles is usually not too hard to receive. So if you really needed a 3 LNB 99/101/103 could be used.

Also, Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com is great to get a visual for your alignment.
Enter your address and select the DirecTV 3 sat option from the drop down menu.
