GL: Direct TV

[Joe]

Tom,

Ditto the comment on FollowMeTv. 
One other gadget available thru an RV accessory dealer is a meter that connects in line with the cable at the dish that shows signal strength and emits a beep as you adjust the dish.

We recently ordered a Direct TV service for our 25 foot Bayliner 2560
boat. We have not even departed for our trip yet and have found locating
the satellite signal when we move the dish to be extremely challenging.
My questions to those who have the system is: How do you have the dish
set up on your boat?Is it a permanent pole mount or can we do something
smaller and portable?Are you able to receive service in a calm anchorage
or just when placing on the marina dock?Are there any tricks to locating
the satellites easier?Any other advice is appreciated, we are beginning
to think it just won't work for the boat.Thanks, Tom
