[QUOTE="bobbywise, post: 636730, member: 331837"] Yes, it's a tricky borderline one I think ! The trees are quite close, and according to dish pointer (although I am guessing the distance from the chimney is about 14m - 15m), the height needed is 5.8m for 39E and 7.8m for 28E. I've never had problems with 28E, even when I had a Multytenne 45 cm fixed dish, so it's sure the trees are ok for 28E. 39E is a tricky one. Not sure if the trees are 13.5, 14.5, 15, 16 m away :-rofl2 I'm starting to think (contrary to my original thoughts), that maybe the trees are in the way, and my alignment is pretty much on the arc. Having said that, I still have doubts about potential pole flexing, so I might buy a scaffold pole. If the trees are an issue, I don't want to move the dish lower (between two arms on bracket) and closer to the trees. Winter is around the corner, and those leaves with fall (I'll be getting the rake out :p). I'm now contemplating leaving the dish alignment as it is, and searching for 39E and 40E when only the branches are left. Since 39E only needs a 50 cm dish where I am located, with bare branches I'll probably pick it up. I'll keep you all posted, and look forward to Pete's photos of his trees :) BTW, it was cloudy today and the 26E 12523H TP I usually get at 40% was gone. Maybe I knocked the dish while taking those photos, or the clouds had an impact :p 26E needs a 70/90 cm dish anyway, so I guess I'll always have problems with that. [/QUOTE]
