I am having loads of problems trying to aim a dish hooked to a fortec ultra. Is there a tool made that will show you where the dish is positioned live? I looked on ebay and found satellite tools made by acutrac. They didnt say explicitly that they did this. Does anyone know where to find a tool that provides this function? Once again, not looking for a signal meter, but rather a pass through device that could be mounted inline near the dish while turning it to see live positioning. Thanks in advance.

aiming a dish is not difficult...aim it towards Mexico..then move slowly..2 people make it easier...and use the many satellite calculators files to get U started..

one question, the azimuth reading I get from the calculator once I enter the degree location for the satellite and a zipcode. Does that number correspond to the number on the compass that I aim the dish with? I think I get the elevation and skew setting on the lnb, but am unclear on the azimuth.
