Help setting Hotbird location.

[Haroon Khan]

Hi to all,
today, me and my friend try to set my dish location to hotbird satellite, after spending many time, we failed, so during the setting, I googling and find this website, so I log in here now and want some help for setting hotbird satellite, while googling I also see this guide:
.
"Your satellite receiver should point 13 degrees East. To do this, find south and then move your dish 13 degrees towards the east."
.
so tell me which kind of compass or meter would do the thing, means whic kind of tool would do 13 degree towards east from south.
then I would buy this and do the job, or anyone would know some other easy way to find the hotbird satellite then it would be highly appreciated.
Note: i have 74" dish.

You'll not get Hotbird on 74 cm dish, if u r in Pakistan. U need atleast 5-ft dish to get some TPs.
Better go for 6 ft dish. :k
