Thanks for the replies so far. I agree that a picture would help!
Most south is the front of the house. I've moved the location from dishpointer to roughly where the existing minidish is. Unfortunately, The slope/pitch of the roof is very steep and so I'm not really sure about locating the dish on the rear of the house.
I'm not hugely interested in nilesat per se, but since it's going to be an install I was thinking that it'd be best to try do it right and aim for as many satellites as possible. I'm mainly interested in watching football.
I think that if a motorised dish was put into the current location, most of the easterly satellites would be seen, but nearly half the 'arc' would be missing? Would that be ok if I was primarily interested in watching football?
Thanks
