[QUOTE="coops, post: 20135, member: 175864"] An Update: I finally received my system and the installer was due round today. He didn't end up installing the dish because he thought I had ordered a monoblock system rather than a flexi block system. He said this meant it would take too long to install today(I hadn't looked at the instructions for the block at this point, I had a look after he went and it was very very simple, even I could do it). He also said that the Diseqc switch was not waterproof and so if he installed it and it then got wet, it would (in his words)"Be my fault and not his" So, I phoned another installer, explained the situation and he sounds a lot more savvy. He is coming tomorrow. One other thing the original guy said was(and this leads to my question) was that the wall I wanted it on(east) is no good. I would need it mounted on the south wall. This is the bit I need to check. I'm not that confident that original guy knew what he was talking about. So the system I have is at : [url]http://www.satellitesuperstore.com/fixed-dishes.htm[/url] It comes with a triax wall mount(about a third of the way down the page). From the picture it looks like it could be mounted on an east wall to face south. I already have a sky dish on the east wall that is pointed at around 2.00 o'clock if you are looking at it from behind the dish(If that makes any sense!) My question(finally) is do you think I could get the dish fitted on this wall. I know it's a difficult question to answer without seeing it but, if you look at the sky dish it looks as though it could easily be moved 15 degrees west to point at Hotbird from it's current position. The problem I have is that it can't be mounted on the south(ish) wall as it will be too exposed to vandalism. Cheers Coop [/QUOTE]
