Tv Antenna on horsebox help !!!

[c7mlm]

Lorry has been away having some extras done one being a tv antenna. It is a Teleco wing antenna but alas i have tried it in all different locations and its yet to pick up a signal.
I am being told that i need to park the lorry with the antenna directly pointing in a straight line at a satellite in space. How the hell would i know where that is !!! And not really feasible to keep moving around the lorry park.
I have always had the status before (only analogue tv though)
Has any one got any suggestions on a different make or model which might work.
I am now looking at the Status 540 ?
thanks

Google Satellite locations then get a compass and get aligning. You can also get a little machiene from Amazon that you plug into the dish and it will bleep when you're pointing in the right direction.

The antenna is fixed it doesnt move that is the problem, I have been told to drive the lorry around until i get a signal. I think i need a different antenna that swivels.

I'm a bit confused - is it a satellite dish or a TV antenna?

Satellite dishes do need fairly accurate alignment but TV antenna are usually a bit more forgiving as they still receive signal from terrestrial masts like analogue as opposed to satellites.

Depending on the TV you've got, has it got a signal strength indicator on the menu? I used that to align my aerial at home.

Another idea is to use a known aerial to tune the TV in your lorry then adjust the unkown aerial until you get a good picture.
