Make sure you plumb the stand then set the dish tilt and the verticle angles per your location table. Then simply use the strength meter to find satellite by rotating first, then adjust the vertical angle to maximize the signal. After a couple times you will be able to setup in less than 10 minutes.

Satellite Dish is good, but the meter shorted out after using twice. Had to buy a new one for $12.00

I am going to start this out with: After I worked out the bugs, I am satisfied with the purchase. I purchased this dish and an HR24-500 DirecTV receiver for my RV. When I first set it up, it did not work. I had no idea if the problem was the new (new re-conditioned) receiver that I had purchased, the dish, the wiring, my location, or the satellite signal meter that came with this kit. Add to it that the cheap compass that they send you for finding the direction of your satellite provides an ambiguous direction at best. I consistently got an error code "771 loss of satellite signal". I replaced one of the short co-axial cables because one end of it was coming apart. After about 15 hours (off-and-on) trouble-shooting , I tried to contact Satellite Oasis for some tech support. You can't call Satellite Oasis but they have an e-mail type contact on their web page. Two months later, I still haven't heard from them. I talked to a couple of different customer service reps at DirecTV and finally talked to one who really seemed to know what was going on. She assured me that a service call would be able to fix my problem at no additional cost. The guy showed up at the appointed time and tried to tune in a satellite with his high dollar satellite signal strength meter. No joy. The next thing he did was swap out the LNB to make it SWM as he assured me this would be better for HD reception (no cost). He was still unable to tune in a satellite. Within a few minutes, he determined that the problem was that the actual dish was slightly deformed (maybe damaged in shipping). The deformity in the dish was almost imperceptible. It was just a slight wrinkle but he said it would never work. He swapped out the dish (no cost), tuned in the satellite with his high-dollar satellite signal strength meter and everything worked great. (He also said that the high-dollar automated tuning dishes don't do HD as well as advertised). After he left, I moved the antenna across the yard just to make sure the system would work as advertised for an RV set-up-and-move scenario. That is when I discovered that the cheap little satellite signal strength meter that comes with this set-up will not work with SWM. I decided to try just getting lucky, pointing the dish in the direction of the satellite, and just moving it around a little. It worked. I turn up the volume on the TV and I can hear it suddenly start working when I get to the sweet spot. Once you have a signal locked, you can use the signal strength screen on your TV to refine your dish setting for strongest signal - but you have to have your wife in the RV and yell or run back and forth. OK, so after a few trials, and getting lucky finding a satellite in my backyard, I decided to take it on the road and try it out. In my new location, it took me about 30 minutes to get everything for the TV set up and working. Much of that time was spent trying to get the tripod perfectly level. It would be a very simple modification to send this thing out with leveling screws on the tripod. I installed my own. It still took me about 25 minutes to get lucky getting my satellite tuned in. On the positive side, it works great once you get it set up; for $7 a month (DirecTV additional receiver fee) you can have HDTV in your RV or at your tailgate party or hunting cabin; I am able to get the SEC channel (Roll Tide) and my All-Day-Sunday-Football ticket channels. For the difference in price between this and an auto-tuner, I like this one but I had a little experience trouble-shooting electronics when I was a radar technician in the Marines. Don't be stubborn. If it doesn't work when you get it out of the box, schedule a service call from DirecTV. I have had it for two months now and have had good service with it. It still takes about 20 minutes to set up from a cold start but it suits my budget and my lifestyle.

I love it, having said that there are two things. I could not get the holes to line up enough to get the supplied bolts through. A quick trip to the hardware store and <$4 solved that. The other issue, I have the HR54 receiver and the supplied LNB will not work with it which I did not know. I called Directv and for <$60 they sent out a tech. Immediately he knew I wasn't getting signal because of the LNB so he swapped it out and I had signal. The best part, he did not charge me for the new LNB and cancelled the order so I didn't get charged by Directv for the service call.
