[QUOTE="John, post: 1153510, member: 175005"] A fairly easy thing to do re: the tree obstruction worry to establish if indeed the tree was having a blocking effect would be to rest a ladder a few metres to the side of the dish so you could ideally be at or near to the height of the dish - with the aid of a straight edge, a 12" ruler or something a bit longer, [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]and with care whilst working at heights[/COLOR] safely 'sight' through from the bottom of the dish to the top of the lnb and follow the sight line through so as to include the tree or tree top position to see if indeed it does block the line of sight to the satellite if at all. ... see quick sketch - nothing to scale Also re: arc tracking, looking at your installation pictures , obtaining good and properly aligned bracket fixings on a tiled surface has always been a pain to acheive, is it an optical illusion but is your vertical mounting pole truely plumb ?. Good luck and work safe. .........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
