[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 519730, member: 256551"] Hi, _www.dishpointer.com will give you the elevation angles required for the satellite you want. There are various methods to see whether you have the clearance. In the past I have used a spirit level with an adjustable bubble to 'eye along' to see whether there are any obstruction. Or if you had an inclinometer or Angle Guage (eg Wixey) you could use that. Using a minidish to check your view is also a good way of doing it. Although merely waving it around may be a bit tricky to say the least.:-rofl2 Mounting it on something a bit firmer would be much easier. The minidish may be a bit too small for 1W though, 5W should be achievable though, but you may need to skew the dish a little, if the LNB doesn't have enough skew adjustment on it. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
