Need Money? Satellite Install Job

[JCroft11]

I'm trying to install a directv satellite at my land in Diboll, but I can't get it to pick up a signal. I have already wasted too much time on it not knowing what I am doing. Anyone want to make some money and do it for me? Or know anyone that could? I would appreciate any leads you have.

While I can't come do it for you I have done it several times and what got me at first was the angle.

Talking about Direct TV here. Put the TV/Reciever on Sat Signal Strength mode and it will beep when you get a signal. Point the dish due South(the easy part) and begin adjusting the angle up in very small increments until a signal at the reciever is heard, the stronger the signal the louder and steadier the tone. There is also place in the reciever where you can put in your Zip Code and it will tell what angle is close and you go up or down from there.

To add to this, you have to start with the mounting pole 100% level. Otherwise the other numbers dont jive. It will also tell you the azmuth and other angle when you put your zip code in the menu setup.

Watching as I have direct tv at my place over near jasper and it worked prior to me taking this place. Called Direct got a new reciever and card but when I hook it up it shows 0 signal.

I cannot figure out what to do, thought it might be the head??
If you find someone to come to Dibol see if they wanna come a little further east and help me get fixed. Free beer, bbq, hog hunt and pay for gas and time, I need my tv at the camp.

Ya'll ain't right. Here I am at work and all I want to do is go hunt, and ya'll are at the lease and just want to watch TV. Quit messin with the TV and go kill something.

No Dale, I am actually at work. Part of my job description to get on TBH throughout the day. :-)
