Hi,
thinking about getting another dish.. just wondering if i were to install it myself could i align it using one of these?
ebay.co.uk/itm/Satpointer-Compass-Tool-Align-Your-Dish-Quick-and-Easy-/160522235740?pt=UK_ConEle_SatCableFreeview_RL&hash=item255fdeef5c
or if not how could i align it?
thanks in advance.

Anyway, the best compass tool is probably Dishpointer (Linked from this very Forum) which will give you a nice graphical/pictorial view of where to site your dish (clear of obstructions) and where to point it.

I wouldn't bother >> Simple Compasses are grossly affected by the presence of metal ....................

So, as stated, use Dishpointer as your "Compass".

For homing in, you'd be better off with a cheap Needle Meter (Without an integral Compass)
