Clear line of sight (DirecTV won't even let us have HD as we're not American!)
There is a facility in the Menu - satellite signal strength, from memory - that checks what you have and, maybe using triangulation from several satellites, tells you the elevation angle and azimuth of the dish. On their website you enter your zip code and it tells you what elevation and azimuth should be.
Trial and error adjusting manually should do the trick.
