Hi, I'm a bit confused over something, and I believe it may be why I'm getting a poor signal. Looking at my offset Bev dish, I noticed that it's pointing a bit down.

To put it clearer, looking at the side of the dish itself, the top lip of the dish is moved more forward than the bottom lip of the dish. This doesn't make sense to me and I don't want to mess with it until I get advice.

As far as I can figure, it should never be pointing lower than 90 degrees. Or am I wrong? I live rather north (Edmonton area).

Oh, it's a standard Bell subscription dish, aimed at 91 and 82.

Thanks for your advice.

Sorry, I guess I was just perplexed that the dish itself would eventually point to the ground, and not the horizon. I guess the "off-set" part should have triggered something. I did a bit more research and I guess it's normal. Thanks.
