[QUOTE="haggismn, post: 151356, member: 190044"] There is not way, as far as I know, to be able to calculate such distance. It would vary far too much from dish to dish and even lnb to lnb. The easiest solution is to use a signal meter, which goes in series with the cable from lnb to receiver. Then you can simply turn the lnb to the poing at which you have highest reading. I find, however, that this is not as accurate. Signal meters are designed for finding satellites, not small lnb movements. Better still, simply get someone to stand beside the tv with a menu up which reports signal strength, and very slowly move the lnb around until optimum signal is achieved. [/QUOTE]
