The Shaw Direct repairman was here yesterday and agreed with me that my dish needs relocating to the far end of the house. He also noted that the mount on the old dish was so badly rusted that the whole assembly needs replacing. Unfortunately, he did not have the required materials with him and will have to come back in a week.
In order to get me by until then, he tweaked the dish a little to get a stronger signal. The path is still going through the tree branch but the signal is now strong enough to give me the minimal required signal strength and it is working just fine (fingers crossed).
Here is the path to the three Shaw Direct satellites as seen with the app on his phone. Only one satellite is obstructed but that must be the one that carries all the channels I watch.
"Well, HERE's yer problem!"
This app would have made things so much easier for me when I was setting the dish up every night as we travelled in the motorhome! "The bird is right over the "L" in the Walmart sign"!
