(SNIP) It only requires changing when you have traveled 60 miles or more in
latitude. Martin.
Martin is right about the 60 miles according to the book, but in reality,
the need to adjust is really closer to 200 miles or more. If you watch the
signal strength starting in the 90s it will gradually get worse as the
latitude changes, but fortunately the picture stays intact for a lot longer
than the documentation states before it degrades enough to warrant a trip to
the bridge to adjust the dish.
