I’ve come across this excellent resource for people setting up their own satellite system (guides coming soon!).
This handy little online tool will tell you your latitude/longitude and all the technical info you need to align your dish such as dish elevation and LNB skew.
Head over to www.dishpointer.com to give it a go!
Reading through the paper today, I saw a very interesting article on the “Sqish”.
The Sqish is a discreet alternative to a satellite dish and can be used to receive Sky and Freesat in the UK.
It can be camouflaged to help it blend into its surroundings with the addition of a Bespoke sticker created from a digital photo.
Why use a Sqish? Areas sensitive to planning restrictions, coastal towns where dishes are prone to rust, dish stigma or just for the sheer hell of it! The Sqish is a quirky contemporary alternative to a satellite dish.
