Satellite mom Unregistered guest | Aim for Texas! I am near lake Ontario, so I aim away from the lake(south) and slightly to the east. I open the window and crank the volume, while I stand on the ladder and very slowly swivel it around. For my area the angle is still pretty shallow, maybe 21degrees above horizon. I don't know of a site, but would it would be handy, cause I gotta get up and move the F'ing dish next week to side the house. |

Satellite mom Unregistered guest | sorry, double post, meant to say west the first time. Actually look at the Bev dishes in your area, the angles are pretty close and give you a starting point. Only know that cause my parents motorhome dish finds the signal itself, and kept trying to lock into the canadian dish while up here. |

The receiver works fine at home.... could something be the matter with the dish itself, or as above, are we being blocked? |
