Quick question re: dish aiming

[holman3rd]

With all the problems I'm having trying to get my Dish Network system upgraded, I'm considering switching to D*.

My question is whether there is anywhere on the internet where you can type in your address to get the dish aiming info for a D* system. I can do this for E*. The reason I ask is that I have a very limited clearance for getting a direct line of site for my E* dishes, and I'd like to know ahead of time whether I can even have a D* system. I would like my D* dishes installed at the same location as my E* dishes (not on my roof).

thanks.

Go to the D* web site http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/DishPointerAction.do. Just enter your zip code.

If you're using the triple sat dish you'll need to kae sure that you have clearence od about 30 degrees west of the 101 sat to pick up the 110 and 119 sat. depending where you located. Good luck finding the locatoins from Direct. If you need to find the locations of the 110 abd 119 just call Dish and ask them.

If you can wait two or three weeks, you'll be able to use the sun to see if you'll be able to see all the satellites. http://perso.numericable.fr/~gjullien/satellite.htm
