[QUOTE="Sharkadder, post: 394208, member: 193449"] i simular have problem with mine, i have got a motorised system which needs to be set up, (1.2 motor and 80cm dish), my next door neighours house is the front house in the semi detached that faces south. The side of there wall faces south, if i put the dish onto the wall facing the east direction of south i can only pick up the eastern satellites because the neighbours roof blocks the western ones. If i put it on the floor round the back theres no enough space to get all the satellites. If i put it round the back on the guttering i can get the western ones but not eastern ones because of the roof in the way. So what i have to do is probably attach it high up on the wall facing south (at the highest point on the roof), now ill probably need a long pole to clamp down to make sure nothing blows over in the wind but thats the only way i can get hold of all satellites without putting the dish onto the chimney which i dont want to do because thats even more dangerous. I could use 2 dish's but that means that i have to have 2 motors and more cabling and i want to avoid that. Where i live its not that bad for wind and plus summer coming up but if i put the wall mount high on the wall and had the dish poking over the roof will it be ok if the wall mount is tightly screwed onto the wall? im going to ring a guy to come round and sort it and he knows alot but im just wondering if its going to be safe.
