I'm also using this type of sat antenna.  Its mounted on a (re)movable
but very heavy rack behind the balustrade of a balcony.  Therefore it
is not visible from the outer side of view.  For adjusting it's better
to use a signal level tester which has to mounted temporary between the
sat card and the LNB (in correct direction because the power for the
tester is provided by the sat card).
