Once we got to our camp in the Highlands of Scotland it took about 2 minutes to set the dish on the bracket and another 2 to tune it in to the Sky digital satellite. 4 minutes after starting we were watching digital television. The picture in Scotland was just as good as pictures we get in Cheshire. In fact just to prove a point of how good your meter was I increased the signal strength and quality of the home based digital satellite system. For your records the digital dish should be pointed at 34 degrees east from south (28 actual + 6 magnetic variation). The elevation in the Fort William area is 20 degrees. Once again many thanks for the meter which I am sure will be used every time we go away in the caravan. I have also found that it will tune an analogue system which my brother has. Chris Ralston (Note: See our caravan page for more useful stuff!) | ||||
