[QUOTE="archive10, post: 988642"] Nothing works like a good "try-it-and-see" - that's what a lot of this hobby is about. Meanwhile, I've dabbled into GIMP, the advanced image editor that allows me to do crude crayon-style photoshop-jobs. I've tried to illustrate your 60 cm dish at the bottom (yellow), and the 90 above (red) on the dark motor (orange). And more importantly, the signal paths. Remember, the sgnal path is to all intents and purposes a tube (in blue) pointing at a slight angle upwards from the reflector of the dish. I assume that the 60cm will be fixed at something suitable like Freesat/28.xE. [ATTACH=full]98712[/ATTACH] My point is; that the dishes to not interfere if the signal path (tube reaching out to satellite) of the lower dish is clear of the upper dish. And even if it isn't - a 60cm pointed at 28.xE will not miss much in case the LNB arm of the 90cm wanders into view. As an example, here's an installation from my summer cottage; the top TD64 (5W) sits partially in the signal path of the lower (5E) - but we still have full Viasat from 5E in all weather conditions!
