[QUOTE="RichardM, post: 636035, member: 331684"] Thanks for all the suggestions. @GreenmanBelg - It's great to see your setup (although when I showed my wife she nearly went hysterical!! :-) The CM 1.2m polar mount that you have at the top is similar to what I was hoping to achieve. Hopefully it'll be clearer in the photos, but basically we have a semi-d with the back wall facing roughly 60W by dishpointer.com. The exposed gable wall faces NW, so if I want to get East of 28E I think I need to attach to the gable so that the dish is at or above the apex of the roof - do you get visibility over the top of your roof? On the other hand I'm not sure that there is enough to the East of 28E to make it worth the increase in my wife & neighbours' blood pressure!! So I might settle for mounting on the back wall and getting from 28E to somewhere past 30W. I have attached 2 pics - 1 of the back of the house with a crude dish drawn-in where I would hope to get the widest reception. 28E would be slightly back over the house, but the elevation of the roof seems shallow enough at that point. Is it realistic to hope to get further east (would the dish need to be too high to swing back that way? if it could, would the pitch of the roof become too steep to see over?) The other pic just shows the angle of the street, so you can see the direction in which the back wall faces. I would like to have reduced the size of the pics a bit as they are probably bigger than they need to be, but I had a look at the limits for images and I think they are under the max and unfortunately the hard drive in my laptop failed so I don't have any decent tools on this machine. I hope I'm keeping within the forum guidelines! I don't have a pic of the trees, so I'll try and grab that in the morning when it's a bit brighter. I really appreciate all the input - I can't believe how helpful you guys have been. Thanks for the offers and suggestions for installers - a neighbour who saw the dish said that there is somebody just down the road who installs dishes and offered to dig out the number, so I just want to wait until he comes back to me, but as I said before most installers here don't want to do motorised, so if he doesn't work out I'll take up some of the offers here. Thanks again, Richard. [/QUOTE]
