Install Help with three feed dish

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

I have a three feed horn Oval-3 dish and receivers but two of the three(B&C)
satellites are out of sight behind trees. As is I can't get locals or HD
programing. I am interested in cutting these trees but need to be able to
know which to cut. I need to know exactly where each sat. is so I can cut an
open path toward each. I need, I think, exact compass headings and angles of
elevation so I can sight for each sat. Can anyonehelp with this info? I am
at zip 01355.

Yes, cut hevtrees blocking my view of directv satellites b and c. Satellite
a is above the tree tops from our dishs mounting point but two are out of
sight behind trees but the dish doesn't indicate exactly where it is
looking. I need to be able to sight a line through the trees to know which
to cut. I don't want to just clear cut the entire hillside. I thought I had
seen a page you could enter a zip code and find the satellite you are trying
to see and it(the page) calculated the azimuth and elevation for each
satellite.

Have to have 2 dishes installed to get local channels here in the USA.
