Having recently purchased a Technomate TM-5400 CI+USB Super and learnt how to drive it whilst connected to my $ky dish. I have decided it is time to lash out on a motorised dish. Now SWMBO has stated catergoricaly that no way is she going to have a dish bolted to the front of my south facing house, or to the gable end. My other option is to attach it to the rear gable wall of my garage which is situated in my garden. My latitude is 52.5 degrees north and a few degrees west. Yes I am in the UK. Having located various satellites via the excellent Satellite Dish Alignment / Setup Calculator 2.0 and thier elevations. Now here is my question. For example the Hellas sat at 39E and an EL of 19deg. is peeping over my nieghbours roof at me. Now the angle between from the centre of my proposed dish and the apex of my nieghbours house is a nominal 8deg. Giving a theoretical available angle of 11deg. Would it be possible to pick up Hellas?
