I don't think any trees that broke where in my line of sight. Not sure yet, I am going to see tomorrow.

Yes, it looks good. While I am not going to go skiing I do plan to write (my main work is an writer) along with tracking volcano activity in Iceland and earthquakes in the Alps.

The storm came to Denmark and my dish is out of an alignment. Not surprising since I have been having wind up to 50 m/s in the worst gusts. I am waiting for the wind to drop so I can fix my set-up. My dish is on an iron rod in the garden since I am not allowed to install it on the house wall...

No problems for me here in Denmark yet. There is strong wind now. But I rate my dish set-up for at least 30 m/s wind for a short period of time. My current set-up is not good as I want it to be.

Since I come from Iceland I am used to windy conditions. Make sure it properly secured to its wall mount (or what you are using). The wind is going to make the dish shake and if this is not properly secured it is going to get loose (the bolts and screws are going to get loose and break when they...

When I finally get there (it is going to take me a while for me. But I always plan well in advance to prevent surprises) I am going to find a house far from the south side of the mountain as possible to be sure to get a satellite signal. At the moment I don't have a location since my plan is...

I have been trying to find this information since it is possible that I might move to a town named Innsbruck in Austria. The town is in a deep alley between some high mountains (Hafelekar, 2,334 metres in the south). While I do not know for sure if I am going to move to this town it is located...

I can confirm that I get Astra 1N in Denmark. I got (with detection on, loss is about 10%), signal that was 80% quality. I got from my spot check all the channels on Astra 1N without any issues. Not all the transponders appeared to have the same strength. But I got all the BBC channels, ITV...

Thanks for this. This is actually better solution for me. As it is cheaper and more easy to setup for me. But I can get an sidewalk slap anywhere cheap I think. I can just dig them down into the ground to make them more stable. Rather then using sandbags or solutions like that. Now I just need...

I found the same type of mount on Amazon. But this are bit expensive and I am broke. So this might have to wait a little if there are not any easier solutions to this issue. Thanks for the help. [This is an answer to Captain Jack]

I did scale down the images. Where too big it seems. This is my setup as it is today.

I now live in an apartment with small garden. I got permission to setup 1 satellite dish with the maximum size of 90 cm. I am not allowed to put it on the outside wall of the house where I live. As an temporary setup I am using tri-foot that I did buy for satellite dishes. But it does not hold...

I had an many dish on one mount that I had specially built for me. The solution is to get high mount, so it provides enough space for all the dishes on it. I do not want to get T90. As I find it easier to control each dish if I want to change what satellite I am viewing.

If I can get long enough mount. This should not be an problem. The dish are only 40cm in size and the largest is 65 cm in size. I am not sure yet if I can use all four of them. It depends on what I can get at my new home.

They are going on an wall. I am not sure where at this point. But I might be able to set them inside. I am not sure if I can place them outside as they have to be close enough for me to correctly align them to correct satellite.
