[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 636698, member: 325666"] Hmm .. Thats a tricky call .. You _may_ just be clipping the trees at 39E ... But the only way you can really be sure is to know the height of the tree .. The distance to the tree is given by dish pointer ... The height of your dish above ground is also known .. assuming you are on the same level as the trees base .. you need to add the height required to see the sat ...given by dishpointer (which assumes ground level) ..to the height of the dish ... If this is greater than the height of the tree ...then the sat will be visible .. If its the same or less ..then you can't recive signals from the sat .. somehow you need to get a rough idea of the height of the trees.. ..or just keep trying and hope you have sufficient clearance. Certainly they look far enough away not to be an issue .... rgds VS Just as an afterthought ..most mature trees around my immediate area are roughly the same height as my old terraced house ie 2 floors and the roof to the apex as a guestimation ..you could assume this to be 9 > 10 mtres.
