rite you got it the wrong way round lol the dish is facing towards us & its on the shed with the house to the left (you can see the window & open door)

anyways do you think that it has enough line of site or ?

It depends where the dish is facing in the picture.

If it is on 19E, then again, the house is well out of the way,as 28E would be pointing even further away from the house.

but other ppls dishes are pointing left (towards the house), hence why i asked

Something does not make sense here, as you said you were getting 19.2E OK.
If this was the case the dish would have been pointing even more at the house. Are you sure you had 19.2E?

raindancerob · 02-05-08, 11:05 PM

yes i had 19.2 East however atm the dish is not pointing at any satellite.

robbo71 · 02-05-08, 11:10 PM

Could you take another photo of when its pointing at 19.2E?

as at the moment it is difficult to obtain a point of reference.

raindancerob · 02-05-08, 11:11 PM

ok but it'l have to be tomorrow now like.

i dont know if this will help or not ? but it roughly faces where iv put the x when its pointed at 19.2 East.

How the hell you got a signal pointing at a Brick wall, I don't know.

Is it a bungalow?
