1) Identify your South Facing Wall: The dish needs to
be on a South facing wall in order to pick up the
Astra 2A, 2B, 2D and Eurobird1 satellites. Identify your
south facing wall and look to mount your satellite dish
on the outside of the wall, at the nearest point to your
main TV. Tip: Look at your neighbours' houses someone is sure to have Sky, see which
way their dish is facing. If none of your neighbours have Sky, you can use
a compass to determine which wall faces south.
