The rest of the dish antennas for either Dish Network or DirecTV become harder to aim. If the mast is not plumbed; the skew or tilt is not correct; or because of falls or storing the antenna it get warped; any of these can make it much harder to get a good signal. This includes Dish networks Dish 500 looking at two satellites to DirecTV’s HD SlimLine looking at five satellites.

I believe that my single LNB Dish 300 dish is just as easy to set for 119 as your direct is for 101. the only difference is a lower angle.

Sorry, I sometimes forget about the Dish 300. I should have said that any single satellite dish is easy to setup, not having to worry with the skew and how plumb the mast.

Except that w/ Direct, you can't get a wrong satellite if you wanted to. And the signal meter is much quicker reacting, and louder,...much easier to peak signal.
IMO, a tripod single LNB dish is much quicker to aim than Dish

my DIsh is a single LNB on a tripod. I don't understand your point. the volume depends on volume set on your TV which can blast across the campground. how much "quicker" are you talking about, 2 milliseconds?
