Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a motorised dish set up at home but not sure where to fit it.
The main problem is that the front of my house faces dead south, and I don't fancy a dish on the front wall.
I could put it on the side of the house but would the only be able to see any sats west of south.
The best place I can come up with is on my garage wall, which is detached from the main house and is at the bottom of the back garden.
What I can't figure out is if it will be able to see over my house from there??
It would be easier to guess with a prime focus dish but the one I've looked at is an offset and hard to tell.
In rough terms, what angle will the sats be at in the sky so that I can work out if this will be a good place???
Thanx
