Line of Sight Assessment & aiming help
I have moved a dish 500 system with twin LNB from my house to my parents house 3 miles away. The skew, azimuth, and elevation are the same for both locations.
When I set this up a couple of years ago I got it aimed correctly right away. Now I am having problems finding 119. I can get a fair signal on 110, but I can not find 119 at all. I have walked through slowly increaseing elevation and have had great patience in aiming. I can see signal from ony 110 and if I go far enough I can see the bellview.
My biggest question is how to determine if the problem is line of sight. My parents house backs up to hardwoods to the south, but I have a little over 100 foot fromt the dish to the woods. Mounting the dish on the house would raise it up but it would only be about 30 - 35 feet from the woods. I have some more distance in their front yard, but how do i tell how far is far enough?
Thanks for any help!
