Hi
i have moved into a new house which has a south facing wall. i want to avoid putting the motor/dish on the front of the house and ideally i would like to put it on to the back of my outhouse which is in the back garden behind the house
the outhouse sits in between the neighbours house and my house (line of site) so there is a gap to the sky from this position and my sky dish 28.2e is on the side of my house getting a signal, so i will atleast get some signals.(28.2e to possibly 19e, not entirely sure though)
my concern is when it goes further west, especially 1 west as this will be behind the house and i have a feeling my dish will drop to the right lower so it needs a good view of the sky
however my house will be there but i am not sure on the elevation (if that is the correct word) needed to achieve a signal
so my question is how far does a dish need to be away from a 2 story house to get a signal off the arc?
i know variables will come into play, location, distance etc but does anyone know of a guestamate?
i will roughly measure the distance from where my prefered location for my dish is and i will update here if that will help.
also i believe there is such a tool that you can use to see what sats you will get before installing, is it called an inclinometer?
any guides on this sort of thing?
thanks
