no, because you may have obstructions in the way, so they are a list of possibilities but if a building or tree is in the way it will tell you about them if you look, have a play with it and see. for example, if you have a massive tree on 19e then you are not going to receive that position even if its clear either side of it, some people have more than one obstruction so may have more than one sat they cannot receive. this is why you have to do the research yourself, as it varies at every house

get large enough T-K brackets to ensure your dish does not hit the wall, so maybe 22cm approx, as for cable, only you can decide how long a run of cable you need, nobody can tell you this, but suffice to say a drum of 50 metres should suffice (get twin cable if you go down the twin tuner route on your box)

either you work all this out yourself or you pay for a site survey to work out all these details, but nobody on any forum can give you exact details without a site visit, surely you can see that ?

Not sure what other members think...but its been up since Sept..though high winds that has blown some tress down in my street but the dish is still there & not moved

I can pick most of the sats up i want.......& not to hard to setup......
as for viewing the channels well thats a hole different ball game (no pun intended)
