Could you re-site the dish to miss the tree? that would be the easiest option.

daphney · 04-05-06, 12:58 PM

no there is a row of trees if i posistion dish to get 30 west would not be able to get anything east is it possible to have a fixed dish and use a motorised dish with my tm7755 box .....cheers 4 all the help....

You would probably need a manual switch to switch between the 2 dishes, I'm pretty sure you can't use a diseq switch and a usals/diseq motor together.
