[QUOTE="Artist 2004, post: 137138, member: 177270"] As I understand it elevation is the angle between the axis of the dish and the horizon. Most of us don't have a view of the horizon, but all of us have a fishing line with a weight on the end (oh come on, you know you have somewhere). So how do you convert between elevation and angle between the dish axis and vertical? I've got two dishes on my roof currently bringing in hotbird and turksat loud and clear. Elevation figures for my location are about 42 and 41 degrees, but the angle between horizontal and the axes of these dishes (as measured with aforementioned scientific equipment) is no more than 20 degrees. I'm confused. [/QUOTE]
