Title: Which way to point a Sky dish in Northamptonshire
Post by: Jake on July 12, 2006, 21:04:40

Could someone around the Northampton/Wellingborough area please pop outside and tell me which way the Sky dish is facing.
Use a compass, i dont want an exact direction, just a good rough guide.
Thanks in advance
 :D

I know I'm not in Northampton, but here in Mansfield mine points at 160 degrees according to my sat-nav.

But shouldn't a sky dish be pointed at the sky?

Like oakeedokee said

28.2 degrees East of due South (bearing 152).  Depending on your compass you may need to add 5 degrees (33) to compensate for  magnetic Vs true North.

Happy viewing.

get a sat tester to test for strength

or get someone to watch the sky box and see the signal strength while you are up a ladder adjusting.
