Hi Guys , I`m in the process of getting my kit together for a motorised setup , only i`m not sure were to site my dish , Its going on the back of my house and i have a good view of south + west , the snag is more east = more height .
I can site it just below gutter-level and probably get as far as 33.0 east , however to go any further east i need to raise dish above gutter level and obviously suffer the consequences of an exposed dish , aswell as struggling to fit/maintain at the greater height . So my question is , is all east of 33.0 worth sacrificing for an easier install (diy) , or is it worth going the extra height , (football ,documentries, movies and bit of porn i promised to record for a mate , i`m not at all interested in that myself) is mostly what i`m looking to view any advice appreciated Many thanks in advance

Basically you'd lose 39E,42E mainly, but also 45E.
I suggest you have a look on lyngsat, kingofsat, flysat etc, to see what you'd lose. Putting above the gutter line, is not too hard, as long as you do it safely and thoughtfully.

More or less, yes I think so. I can only get to 51E myself, and there was only a single German channel viewable, under test.
