I am setting Directv service for about 5 different households. Before I order the equipment, I wanted to make sure everyone can recieve the HD signal (including the new satellites). Is there a way that they can go out and make sure they have a good line of sight without having to hire someone to come out? Any kind of rule of thumb or primer would be awesome...
How can you check to see if you can get it...

You need a Clear View from the Southern sky.Otherwise from the spot where you are going to put the dish there can't be any trees or bushes blocking the view to the dish.Good Luck!
Yes, you need a heading compass, similar to the one attached, set/aim to the correct heading and eyeball around 45° (depends on your location as well) up from the horizon. It is a generalized best guess method without a great expense. In 15 years I have never had any trouble with this method.
What is your zip and likely dish to be used and maybe we can give you some exacts.

Hey, just to know, what do you mean by "setting service for about 5 different households"? Maybe knowing exactly what you are trying to do will help us, help you.
