Re: Installation in new house

I'm guessing that she'd said this due to the build settling, and that
this could possibly have some effect on it?! But I'd not have thought
this would be a problem?

Do you know, we have fitted hundreds of dishes on new buildings and the
problem of building settlement has never occurred. When you think about it,
a simple downward movement wouldn't matter -- hence the use of dishes on
moored boats in tidal waters -- and for a building to tilt that much would
actually be rather alarming for more important reasons than the effect on
satellite reception.

I can walk about inside my motorhome, causing a perceptible change in the
vehicle's orientation, without the satellite reception being affected. No
doubt I would be able to measure a change if I took some test gear, but it
can't amount to much.

I once went out to repair an aerial cable for a Mrs Malaprop of Elsecarr.
The cable had been snapped because of mining subsidence. The subsidence had
also made the roof leak, and water was pouring down one wall. I expressed my
concern and she said, "Oh, it'll be all right. I've applied for
condensation."
