Sky dish question

The_Bullman · 2003-08-11 17:30:06

I am considering getting skyD soon. I am simply wondering which direction the dish will have to be pointed when it is installed. I have heard that it is aligned with the sun at about 11am...is this right or have I heard wrong? Sorry about wasting your time folks

Due South. All dishes are south facing.

Kinda right about the Sun, the Sun is due south at around 1:20pm, 12:20pm in the winter, but you'd be blinded if you used that as a calibration tool. :cool:
