Robert:
In addition to what vj9999 says, which is true...
The best way is to get a decent compass (preferably one with a built-in inclinometer) and walk the site. Start with the area that is clearest in terms of tree growth and use it as a starting point. This may mean putting a pole in cement somewhere in your yard -- WAF is critical at this point !! :shock: Then determine your most extreme satellites (east and west) and see if the intended dish swing will pick up the desired satellites without hitting any treetops -- use the inclinometer for this. If not, choose an alternate location. Remember that for satellite reception higher is not necessarily better. Many people think that a dish stuck way up on the roof will bring in better reception; not so.
