Knew about dishpointer, but not about the obstacle checker - so have never tried or looked at it.Or you could use the Dishpointer.com obstacle checker, and it will work it out for you.
@Loquacious - see here:Satellite Finder / Dish Alignment Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com - you obviously need to enter your own latitude and longitude. You also still need the height of the tree!
Edited: Obstacle Checker gives Line of Sight (LoS) information - and that would be correct for a prime-focus dish - but, I assume, for an off-set dish, the LoS is the line drawn along the off-set angle when the beam strikes the dish face(?).
