I have had the one, three, and now five LNB dish and always got frustrated trying to set it up. I bought the satellite finder (basically useless) and gave up on it. I bought a couple of different compasses and always spent time searching for the correct heading as they tended to be influenced by the metal dish. I bought an iphone and found it has a compass on it. I tried it and it works far better than any of my expensive compasses when next to the metal in the tripod.
My process is 1) verify the local area elevation setting and the "tilt" if using the 5 LNB dish and set them to the correct settings before beginning, 2) Level the tripod baseplate using the bubble level as it seems to be very accurate, 3) set the dish on the tripod and standing directly behind the dish point it using the iphone compass, 4) have the receiver set to the satellite strength screen using the "sound on" option. I have the wife view the screen and yell when the sound starts and have her "fine tune" it as I move it slightly to get the best signal. This process usually takes about 10 minutes total and I seem to be ablel to start within about 5 degrees of horizontal adjustment using the iphone. A slight movement either left or right finds the satellite quickly. If you have the elevation and "tilt" set before beginning there is usually very little adjustment to these needed.
I hope this helps as I finally can get set up quickly and all I need is the iphone compass app and the local settings for the satellite which most campgrounds provide or you can get online.
