[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 740061, member: 196043"] Asiasat 4 should be at about 19 degrees elevation at your location, that's 19 degrees above the horizon. You could cut out a bit of cardboard into a triangular shape with a 19deg angle. Hold it exactly horizontal using a spirit level and point it in the right direction for the satellite. Hold it up to your eye and look up the slope of the triangle and see if you can see clear sky from the location you plan to install the dish. One thing you could do is look up your location and the satellite on the Sun Outage Calculator if you still haven't figured out exactly where the satellite is at the beginning of April: _http://www.satellite-calculations.com/SUNcalc/SUNcalc.htm When the sun aligns directly behind the satellite (twice a year in the spring and autumn) you'll be able to see how high or low it is behind any mountains or trees and where the sun shines reception should be possible.
