Have a few fixed offset dishes with various headings from Sirius2 as far as Astra2. As would be expected the Sirius dish appears to have the highest elevation and Astra2 the lowest. However this pattern is not the same in every case.Is it possible that various types or brands have different degrees of offset. A bit perplexed.

Hi there... and welcome to the forum! :welc1:

Of course, the actual elevations of satellites depend where you are (and you don't say) but yes - visually things might look a little odd as different manufacturers do indeed use differing offset angles.

Hope that reassures you
