[QUOTE="archive10, post: 895233"] The following is all speculation, but... As pointed out in other threads on this very site, the TD dishes+LNBmounts do not illuminate the entire dish surface. As shown with the laser-pen method (accurate or not), the area mainly used for reflection dos not include the "lower sideburns" of the dish. this means that the working area is slightly shifted towards the top of the dish. Now... if you suspect that the wall is cutting of part of the dish (i.e. right-hand side when viewed facing dish), then perhaps, just perhaps, you'd get a couple more ergs/iotas out of it if you mounted it 90 dgreees skewed, as in pointing out from your balcony.... Maybe it's 2%, and therefore will drown in interference. But who knows - RimaNTSS at least experimented with dishes that turned, as he found some designs worked better in one plane that the other. Just a thought... [/QUOTE]
