Impossibly pointed dish?

[gtsg1098]

This dish seems like it's not pointed at the southern sky.... It's pointed south but the sky? Doesn't look like it. Anyone have any info on this? From what I understand, the house is using this dish.

An offset dish like that one receives the signal at an angle down into the dish, not straight into it like a prime focus dish does, [a dish with the LNB mounted in the center of the dish rather than on a arm at the bottom like that one] so even though it looks like it's pointed straight at the house, it's actually aimed above the roofline of the house.

I used to have a dish aimed exactly like that for 148. Is there even anything available at 148 anymore?

No, 148 is dead in the sky...

Nope, but left it there because it looks cool

I like it. You even had it labeled!

The dish I had pointed at 61.5 here in Spokane looked just like that.
