The Wilderness problem: hills and ridges in the way
Homes on the south-facing slopes can have the hill itself, or neighbouring houses above, blocking the view to the satellite. Steep, high roofs also make DIY fixes dangerous, so dishes often stay badly placed for years.
Wilderness installations need a careful site survey because two homes on the same road can have very different views of the satellite. We compare safe mounting points at ground, wall and roof level, then balance clear line of sight with secure access and a protected cable route.
