Getting Dish installed tomorrow. Will this work?

[PeckW]

I've previously been a happy Dish customer, but my employer basically offered another service at no cost. I 'm retired now and want to return to Dish. The treeline behind me which gave a view to the western arc, has grown to the point I no longer have visibility. This is a view of the eastern arc at 72.7 and 61.5. I've already gotten permission to take the limb off the tree that is directly between this spot and the 72.7 satellite. Will a dish placed at this spot work?

Thanks in advance,

Peck

That's tight, but as long as you see can clear sky you should be good. As the tree starts to bloom out the overhead branches will likely sag some more and may cause a blockage. You any good at tree climbing?

Heh, I was at 15, not so much at 65.

With that 1 limb gone it will work if the app is accurate. However imo I don't think it will be a long term solution given those upper branches will cause an issue later on as the tree grows and blooms out and the branches sag into your line of sight.

This picture was taken at about chest height. I think i could lower the height to about belt level and it would alleviate the drooping branch problem, hopefully.

I've split the sats around a tree on several occasions at various campgrounds, usually it is the eastern arc. As said though, it does look like those upper branches could be a problem in the future. If you're located in snow country, that could also cause the branches to droop quite a bit at times.
