Interpretation of the local channel report

I recently installed an open air antenna on the mast of my directv dish and to ensure that I have it pointed in the correct direction, could someone help me interpret the attached report? the satellite was pointed almost directly south but i am not sure that is optimal.... thanks in advance....

You have stations in two directions. The stronger are about 145 degrees on a compass (roughly southeast from your location) and the weaker about 285 degrees on a compass (a bit north of due west).

You don't say what type of antenna you have, so there is no telling if it is sufficient to gather the signal.

I'd recommend aiming the antenna roughly southeast. If you have a compass aim it at 145 degrees. If not, use the Online TV Maps (enter your address, click "Map This", then click on satellite and zoom in, click to "Show lines pointing to each transmitter", the use the lines to locate a house or other structure in that general direction as an aid). Re-scan after each move of the antenna.
