    you also need a serious meter and a lot of patence. The Dish has to be pointed 14 times more accurately than a Sky Mini dish!

    see also www.smw.se >>"free Software" >> "SMW Link"

    With that size dish you will be sensitive to satellite inclination so do final elevation tweak at favourite TV watching time as ALL satellites appear to bob up and down slightly twice a day. So called "inclined" orbit "End of Life" satellites have a larger inclination so appear to do this on regular dishes.

    The 4.8m ground station dishes are motorised on elevation to avoid this problem. With a 2.4m dish you may get very poor reception twice a day. By the elevation tweak you can deside when that is.
