[QUOTE="digdog, post: 351856, member: 175295"] As a rough guide, if the precise spot where you intend siting your dish is in full sun from sunrise to sunset you will get pretty good coverage. This is a good indicator because in UK we are coming up to one of the 2 times of year (i.e. mid March and mid September) when the path of the sun follows exactly the Clarke Belt . If any shadow from trees or buildings fall on your intended site, this might well indicate that you will not get any sats hiding behind these trees or buildings. Height of the dish doesnt really matter as long as it sees the arc of the Clarke Belt -and from a convenience/accessibility view there's a lot to be said for a pole in the back garden - you could always train a few plants to climb up it and cover the back of the dish! :) [/QUOTE]
