    Hi,

    I have a satellite at home aimed at astra 2e (south west).

    I want to install a discreet (hidden) dish in my girlfriends apartment (which she owns).

    However, the only assessible wall is northfacing.

    Are there any alternatives to astra 2 which I can aim at to the north? Its not possible for me to swing the dish around to the south.

    The geostationary satellites spend all their time above the equator, so you'll have to move to the southern hemisphere if you want to get them on a north facing dish. :)

    Figured as much! Is astra2 far south of direct E?

    Longitude 28 degrees east, about 45-46 degrees south of due east (true bearing) from southwest Ireland
