[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 974531, member: 330868"] Going to be moving house in the next couple of months into a new build. There's a restrictive covenant on the development meaning that nothing bigger than a minidish can be attached to the house. The house faces SSE (with the garden at the back with views to the North and West) and I'm trying to work out what the best set-up will be to get all the sats I need. :D So far I'm thinking zone 1 on the front of the house (for Sky), and then the rest in the back garden as far as possible - 80cm for 5°W 80cm for 30°W These should both have clear line of sight over the fence to the West, so I'm not expecting problems (fingers crossed), but what will be the best way to mount them as I've never tried a permanent garden mount before? I was thinking a patio mount pole bolted to a couple of heavy duty bricks/concrete slabs (whatever I can get my hands on). Then the final dish will be a Sky Zone 2. This will be for 13°E and 19.2°E, and ideally it can go in the garden too if it can see over the top of the house (the house is directly in front of these sats), otherwise it'll have to go on the front (this is why I'll go for a minidish). All together that should cover everything I'm after without being too visible/causing complaints. I'm also tempted to look at adding 3.1°E to my 80cm 5°W dish as an offset for the Greek channels as I found I could just about get a signal on those on a poorly aligned 60cm last night! I'm a bit worried an 8.1° offset might be pushing it a bit for them but the robust FEC of 3/5 seems to allow them to lock at a pretty weak signal level which should help. The only position I'll be missing will be 9°E, which I'm kind of thinking I'd quite like for the Swiss French HD channels (TF1, M6 etc) which are no longer available on 5°W multistream, and haven't yet shown signs of (re-)appearing there. Unfortunately I think 9°E is just too close to 13°E to offset it on a Zone 2? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
