which direction point to for satellite dish from ca thanks

HelloSouth east in california, use a compass to get your bearing. The old kits used to come with compasses with a green south-east dot that helped me a lot, maybe you can find one on ebay. Have your cable box signal meter on or beeping so it can help you adjust the dish signal, youll hear a loud constant signal in stead of a beep when you find the signal.Goog luck!

The Direct TV website provides that information. It will ask you your zip code and then give the coordinates by which to aim.

The satellites are located south of Texas over the equator, so basically you will be aiming southeast of California. Go to this website: http://www.satsig.net/maps/satellite-tv-dish-pointing-usa.htm. Enter the satellite you want (101 W for DirecTV), and your City and State. Look above that and you will see the settings; San Jose i.e. - Dish elevation= 41.1, Azimuth= 132.5 (magnetic compass), Polarisation= -25.5. You can also go into your system settings on your receiver and find 'Dish Setup' which is basically the same thing. Good luck and I hope this helps.

No. However. Push the blue button and say. What direction am I traveling. And. Onstar. Will tell you

No it does not, you have to do initial dish pointing using suggested degrees and elevation. This unit let's you fine tune to strongest signal

As an update to my previous answer, I used a Phillips antenna rotor which is identical to ChannelMasters which is then mounted to the Dish mount (dish removed). The rotor supports a short piece of antenna mast purchased at Lowes (lowes.com) which also should be available at Radio Shack. The antenna then is mounted to the mast. Again, this antenna is VERY directional, Some of my stations come in only within 5-10 degrees.

i tried it and it would not work the receiver box is programed to point the dish

In ur case the directional will ge the best. Just make sure that you point it directly at the cell tower.

Use the Source buttom and scroll to the diagram that looks like a satilite dish. Scroll over to Scan for channels.

There's a different dish for Direct. You want to make sure you have the right dish for your service, because the dish is programed for that service's satellites.

Is either the software on the box or the satellite antenna house to get adjusted

I use this dish in our motor home and it works great in most of Alaska if the weather is 1/2 way good. I get the 110, 119 and 129 sats. Its best to use an in line$12 tuning meter. I would not advise putting this on your TV antenna.

Of course you can,in satellites setting menu you can add any satellites direction

I would say you have to point it in a "general" direction. I'm in the middle of the city and I get amazing signal with this antenna just installed in the attic pointing north. (Just because the wood in the attic made the antenna point in that direction when I installed it)

Hi, sorry, I don't know... I believe you're SUPPOSED to be able to. I'm trying to pick it up myself, but being a total noob at all this satellite stuff I haven't figured it out yet. Good luck! - Tracy

Everything you need to receive Standard DirecTV at your RV.-The hardest part is "pointing" your disk to the south for reception. Takes a while to get use to how to do that. Look up the coordinates of your campground for DirecTV signal. They are on the internet. Then point to those coordinates then tweak until you get the reception you want.-This dish is for standard DirecTV reception and NOT (HD) High Definition Cable. Works regardless but you will not be able to get HD channels. Those dishes are considerably higher and hard to find.-You will still get hundreds of standard channels based on your package you bought with the service.-Excellent product once setup.

It needs to be a dish satellite - KU 30" or C band 6-10' dish. Hope this helps.
