It's a fiddly job, made much easier by a compass, a signal finder, and endless patience. As well as DH who's good with a drill up a ladder...
Thanks to all who offered help. Anyone want a slightly used signal finder... one careful owner....

I've put up a satellite a few times, in Wales and France. Never bothered with all these fancy gadgets, I've always gone for the method of pointing the dish roughly in the same direction as other peoples and then angling the telly out the window and adjusting it using the data from the sky box. Not much use if you haven't any neighbours with sky and/or can't see the telly though.0
