I am trying to set up a dish for receiving satellite television.
I had assumed that I understood the meaning of, for example,
28.2 degrees East.
I assumed that this meant 28.2 degrees east of north.

28.2 degrees is the position of the satellite in its orbit relative to the
Greenwich Meridian.

The angle you have to point your dish at depends where you are.

alt.satellite.tv.europe is a more appropriate ng or uk.tech.tv.sky
