i apologize for not using modify. a judgement call: it would not make sense to move anything until a technician arrives on the scene. there is a lot of sky out there and the window the satelite you are pointing at is about one half a degree tall and less than one half a degree wide. to put that in perspective, i don't have a calculator, but the formula is a simple one: one foot square=x times tan 0.5 degree, x is the approximate distance you are from the window, and that's a mighty big number, you probably could not see it. and you know you can't see the satelite. my guess is that for every one foot the satelite dish focus moves at fifteen hundred feet angular, you've lost the lock on the satelite, presuming you had the lock on the satelite. call a technician. on the other side of the wall is where the judgement call exists. you couldn't do it with a flashlight, don't try it with satelite.

Edit by RTB: Dude, caps OFF. I won't warn you again, the next time's it'll be a temporary ban.
