[QUOTE="AForester, post: 82832, member: 181748"] The elevation of the bird at 13east at Manchester is approx 28degrees. Your tree problem, 6metres high and 7 metres away gives an angle to the top of the tree of approx 40 degrees. Hence your dish is looking through the tree and you will get loss of most or all of the signal. To clear the trees the base of the dish should be over 3.7 metres off of the ground. The larger the dish the smaller the beamwidth ie the tighter/smaller the acceptance angle. Do not forget the satellite is nearly 39000km away from you and what seems to you to be a small movement of the dish at your end means that you could be off beam entirely. As the saying goes " a miss is as good as a mile". With trees in the way you will always have problems, especially when they are covered with leaves, and in general they have a tendency to grow higher and wider over the years. Cut them down or move your dish to a position where you have a clear view across the arc for the satellites that you wish to receive. [/QUOTE]
