[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 1162079, member: 323322"] Surely, for an offset dish, the face angle is simply Satellite Elevation minus Offset Angle (of LNB arm)? In the UK, many dishes have an offset of around 24 Deg so, for example, if the required Satellite Elevation (qv Dish pointer) is 28 Deg, then the face of the dish should be 28 - 24 = 4 Deg (upwards). In any event, setting a dish face this is merely a starting point as it will inevitably need to be tweaked for optimum reception. There is a danger in over-complicating things ..... [/QUOTE]
