Would I be able to install a motorised dish on my walls?

[BigVal]

I am getting a system very soon with a 1m motorised dish.

I am wondering if I can get it on my wall easily?

When I had old analogue SKY the dish was on the front of my house which is almost completely South Facing.
Now I have sky digi it is on the back which, suprise suprise, is Almost completely south facing.

Both of the dishes are turned so far they almost touch the wall.

Just wondered if I am gonna have to pay for a 'special' install?

Thanks for any help guys.

You need to mount the dish sufficiently far from the wall to turn the arc and high enough to clear all line of sight obstacles. Other than that, a wall mount is pretty straightforward.

Don't forget that if you have a modern house wall made of breeze block these need special attention to make sure they can hold the weight.

ditto, what rolf said. a 50/60 cm wall mount should be enough.

Bit concerned about your comment "Both of the dishes are turned so far they almost touch the wall"

I would check that your wall is really south facing. A sky dish touching the wall suggests a South West facing wall to me.

The sky digi is on the back of my house. Its arm is pointing almost parallel to the wall.

The old sky analogue is on front almost parallel to wall also.

I have no compass so I can't really tell.

I am paying £149 for a professional installer now. So I guess it will cover most types of install?
