Dish Network versus Direct TV

[Don Bradner]

If the dish face is pointed at the top of the tree, and you are even a modest
distance away, you should be fine.

The dish is roughly a 20-degree offset-feed type (variants from about 19.5 to
23.5 are common), so the angle to the satellite rises 20 degrees above the
direction the face is pointing. Reception in the bedroom just about eliminates
the dish from the current problem situation.
