Put the damn thing up on your house and try it! :-)

Digital satellite reception is not as sensitive as some might suggest.
I get mine using an old white analogue dish with a universal LNB

If you're using a sky box, the quality indicator is more important
than the signal strength indicator. Get the quality indicator as high
as possible.
