OK so I've been playing about a bit today with my 60 cm dish. Astra 19 picks up no probs, 85% singnal strength and 70% signal quality I think. So I move on to hotbird, barning in mind I have no metre or out. So moving dish round very slowly, m8 shouts out 50% signal stength, rock so I jump down ladder and indeed I put channels on to find huge German woman talking, rock, then she dissapears no signal, doh, as i hadnt tightened bolts in my excitment to get in the house and have a butchers, wind must have blew it a bit as it oftened did, all day. Anyhow by this time I decided to call it a day. So question is as I did brefly get hot bird, not sure exactly how many channels like as 2old mentioned, shall I get back up my ladders tomorrow?
I thought bout putting it on the ground rolf, but theres all shit in the way fencing and coal buncker, where concrete floor is, havnt tried getting a signal there yet, do you think it would work, dish would have to be placed quite near fence, pointing at it like.
