Just relocated to Ohio. Interested in keeping my Direct TV account but have
many trees on property.

Can anyone tell me the direction and elevation I'm going to need to mount
the dish here in Ohio?

Bearing could be either a grid or magnetic azimuth.I just want to see if
I'm going to be able to see the portion of the southwest sky I need.

Many thanks in advance.

You should be able to access the set up menu on your receiver and put in
your zip code. Receiver doesn't have to be connected to anything - just
plugged in to 110 AC
