[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1103892, member: 415308"] Could there be anything in the choice of satellite position being influenced by the aesthetics of the installed dishes? In the UK for 28.2/5 east a typical offset dish face is near vertical when installed, which results in a neater looking installation. Also if Sky was based at say 1W the dish would be 'leaning back' and more likely to collect snow - I noticed in recent snow my fixed 7E dish collected more snow than the fixed 22W dish which remained almost clear. The lower half of 7E dish also gets dirty relatively quickly. [/QUOTE]
