Is there a tool that satellite installers use to pinpoint the location

When you sign up for satellite service, the provider will install and
align the dish when he brings out the receiver. They also make the
connections from the dish to the receiver and TV set.

If this doesn't work for you, the start up program supplied with the
receiver will assist you(located at the TV set) and a helper(located
at the dish) to fine tune the aligment to your location.

Some people prefer to install their own- the 'free professional
installation' is often worth what you paid for it. Whaddaya mean you
don't want a hole drilled through your living room wall behind your TV?
