Both times, Direct TV was there with a new dish. I use the Oasis Satellite detector (comes with the package) and in conjunction with Direct TV's software I'm usually set up in around 15 minutes.
I been doing that way for 19 years. I use a modified Winegard tripod with a Slimline 2 reflector and 13LNB-SWM. For alignment, I use a Satlooklite signal meter which is programed only to lock-on to the 101 sat signal. I carry 200 ft of RG-6 coax as I like to park under trees when available. I use DirecTVs's video bridge with C-41W clients so all the TV are connected wireless. My mobley hotspot is connected to the system by a DECA.
