As a matter of perspective, imagine you put a plumb on the face of your antenna and it was exactly straight up and down pointing exactly 90 degrees out or what would be perceived as 0 degrees elevation. With the antenna in that position it would receive a signal from a satellite that was located 24 degrees above the horizon. The elevation markings on the antenna compensate for this entry angle so when they show the antenna elevation as 44 the antenna itself is only tilted back 20 degrees from horizontal.
Some folks trying to point an antenna, set it to 44 and then assume they must be blocked based upon where the antenna is pointing and not where the signal is coming from (again, 24 degrees higher).
I hope that answers the question of the poster and clears up what I was saying.
