[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 848464, member: 301161"] You are at 57ºN. At 58ºN the arc is at -7.5º declination. If you move to the equator the arc would be at 0º declination, and if you moved to 57ºS the arc would be at +7.5º declination. Anyway, if you leave the dish parked on, for example, Hispasat 30ºW that satellite is lower than 10º elevation. The heating effect at that elevation is going to be minimal, maybe just 3 or 4 watts for a few minutes a day, and certainly not enough to "burn" an LNB. To me this is a bit like the myth you can start fire by rubbing two sticks together. The reality is though that, while it may be possible in theory, no one has ever started a fire by rubbing two sticks together. And if you try it you will find they barely get warm. [/QUOTE]
