DirecTV HD Multi-dish pointing

[Jim_VA]

I plan on switching over to DirecTV HD and do the installation myself but have a few questions. Does the HD multi-dish still need to be pointed to DirecTV's all 3 orbital positions at the same time? This is the way it looks to me that the multi-dish points to 101, 110 and 119 positions all at the same time. Is this why there are 3 setting on the multi-dish (azimuth, elevation and polarization)? How do I correctly use the dish pointing calculator here to be able to set all three settings of the multi-dish? Is there different multi-dishes for DirecTV and DirecTV HD because I keep seeing people in the forum talking about setting up a multi-dish but they say nothing about HD setup in their message so I am wondering if the DirecTV multi-dish is pointed at 101, 110, and 119 locations or the HD multi-dish is pointed to different satellites.

And for a one time install which signal finder, strength meter woud you all recommend to me and would they be able to find other satellites that DirecTV may launch in the future?

Thank you all!

IF YOU LIVE IN THE DC AREA JUST SET AT 236 DEGRESS , TILT AT 56, ELEVATION AT 35 . YOU SHOULD HIT ALL 3 SATELLITES . MIGHT NEED JUST ALITTLE ADJUSTING .
