Default Positioning a satellite dish?

Thanks, everyone, for the help.

OK, a signal strength meter, the right tape, and an extra length of good
quality cable, compass etc . . . it should be a jolly afternoon's
entertainment! But if it saves us a couple of hundred quid, great!

Thanks a lot.

==================================
If you have a spirit level with an angle adjustment at one end you can use
it to find the correct angle of elevation. Tape your level to a short
straight length of wood (long enough to bridge the edges of the dish) and
set to the required angle.
