Hi ltmltm, are you in the town or out towards the fire guys on a hill??
You may struggle to clear the hills towards Hooky/Chippy, maybe that's why your neighbours antenna is in a tree.\

Would be interested to find out what the 2.4mtr fortec is recieving and how well.

Yes, I would love to see that too. I really can't imagine what it looks like up a tree.

something like this perhaps?

as my cameras busted you might be waiting awhile

but it's amazing how well concealed it is in the tree
you can only see it if your in their back garden
from what i've seen it appears to pick up the thai channels fine with only very slight break up in bad weather

nothing like the picture

they actually cut off four dead branches and pruned the others then drove some great big nails in to it and a mount then slotted the dish on
i think they must have craned it because its a good 20m high
the trees a 35m tall oak
