[QUOTE="astra19, post: 1092319, member: 413666"] Tried something a bit different. It's a bit windy on the balcony so I wondered if I could get much of a signal with the dish sitting on the ground! As you can see in the image, there's a very tight angle to the sky, and there is a thick layer of glass in the way with a metal handrail on top. Surprisingly, I still managed to get a watchable signal on about a third of the TPs on Astra 1. About another third were strong enough to lock and scan, but I couldn't get a picture. And then a final third were totally nothing. I'm hoping to find a semi-permanent solution because the dish makes the table too wobbly. Maybe an upturned bucket? [/QUOTE]
