This is why i'm struggling with 55 / 58 West at the moment.
That tree has grown upwards quite a bit in the last three weeks..... it's got to have a trim.
A little poetic licence of the dish beam width but you get the idea lol.

55 - 58West elevation angle of reception and signsl blockage...reduced..jpg

Can't you discretely kill it off...copper nails should do it.

Looking around the internet forums, some say yes and some say no. I have heard of it before some years back, probably need a few though to have any effect.

SWMBO had a silver birch in our garden, until it buggered my reception of 40w, it had to go, and it did!
