[QUOTE="kippysat, post: 1141196, member: 418200"] Hi Mickha, The dishpointer application was exactly what we needed. We are now able to see the height at which the beams from different satellites pass through the air. We are logging those heights with a certain margin of error as I assume dishpointer thinks the ground level is perfectly straight at all points. The area and location is undulating and as I posted earlier the neighbouring house level is slightly higher, so that will need to be factored in. Anyway, we will make arrangements to go onsite again and take some more measurements. Using Dishpointer it is possible that the highest point of the neighbours roof may be below the height at which some of the satellite beams point to along the line where we position the dish. At any rate, we can now calculate how high we need to be to receive the signals. Thank you all for your help and advice. I'll be in touch with further updates. [/QUOTE]
