We are Directv subscribers and want to take our home system with us. We use the Genie system with wireless client servers. We duplicated our power sources for the wireless Genie antenna, the DVR as well as the power inserter so transfer of the system would be easier from home to fifth wheel. Purchased a good tripod and slimline dish. I thought it would make dish pointing easier and purchased a "satellite finder" from amazon which turned out to be a cheap unit from Radio Shack. After watching videos and trying for an hour to get some kind of a signal with the unit, we finally resorted to one person watching the signal strength on TV and one person making dish movements until we finally got a signal. Knowing the elevation and direction for the approximate set point helped but it still took a while, and obviously two people. My question is what is the best make and model of satellite finder that people are using and having good luck with. Much appreciated!!!
