satellite views of street addresses where you can easily see which way is

Another easy method is to start at any window, then work from window to
window in a simple pattern to find the window gives the best signal strength.
Note that the antenna must also have an unobstructed view. No trees or
buildings blocking its aim. If the antenna is aimed through a window, be
aware that blinds, screens, or any other non-glass elements such as thermal
insulation can sometimes cause reception issues. If this is the case, you may
want to use another window or place the antenna outside of the window.
If you find a window that gives you good
signal strength, you can place the antenna
on the windowsill. The antenna may need
to be placed on something to raise it above
the level of the window frame.
If you don’t have a window where you
receive a consistent signal, or placing
