Adel, IA | [DIRECTV] Elevation setting
Would the elevation setting given by Direct TV for your zip code, change with the distance of the dish, off the ground ?
If mounted 50' to clear tree blockage, wouldn't that elevation change slightly ? |

In other words ... no change.
Remember, you're aiming at an object about 25,000 miles away. Relatively small movements on the ground have very little impact on aiming. |
