Direct TV Satellite Coordinates

[mschiehl]

My mobile satellite is set up for Direcway on 83W. In order to subscribe for network channels I have to point to 101W for activiation. I can specify 101W in the control settings but that doesn't appear to take into account my location. Any suggestions for azimuth and elevation calculations from my Lat Long (generic)?

The DirecTV satellite footprints are pretty well focused CONUS beams. The spot beam signal are locally focused within their specifically assigned US regions.

Just go HERE and enter your LAT/LON or choose a general city area and then choose the satellite you want to aim to and calculate; there you go!
