[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 406618, member: 256551"] The only way to find out what you could achieve is to try it. If the view from inside your window is in the right direction and the glass doesn't attenuate the signal too much, there is no reason why you could not adjust the dish for other sats, including Hotbird, Astra 1,Astra2 and Hispasat. Might be a bit of a pain in the ar*e to do it manually though, as both the elevation and azimuth require re-adjustment. This could be made easier if the dish was mounted on a pole aligned with the earths axis, then only the azimuth would require adjustment. Probably best to start of with a cheap minidish or similar and experiment to see what you could pickup. After that, start trying to complicate things. How about an indoor motorised dish, that would be funny:-rofl2 and 2CVbloke, why tyres?, perhaps he had a spare lying around. I wonder how many other people there are in the world using car tyres, down to el famoso Analoguesat. [/QUOTE]
