Depending where you are it can be very easy or difficult. We are directly acrross from the Crow Building and have a massive tree on our space, which provides great shade, but makes finding a signal rather difficult. I went online a few years ago and bought a signal finder, similar to the ones the instaliation people use and that seemed to help quite a bit.
Good Luck.

Get a signal finder...otherwise it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 hours to find a good signal.

Also bring a long cable in case you need to move your dish away from the trees. If you still have trouble you might consider a tri-pod stand. Good luck.
