DISHPOINTER

I have added a new link to a satellite dish pointing site which uses a mashup of Google Maps to show you which direction to point your dish when you are installing it.  It gives you the altitude/elevation angle, azimuth, LNB skew and the distance to your chosen satellite from your location.  There is even a few iphone and android apps on the site which can help you.  This can be used anywhere in the world.  The link is in the Home Entertainment section in the column on the left of this page or you can click on it here DISHPOINTER .  I cannot guarantee it's accuracy, but I assume it will work o.k.  One of the cool features is that it gives you the true azimuth which you have to know true North to use, but it also gives you the magenetic azimuth so you can use a compass to find magnetic North and then work out the direction to point your dish.  Knowing all this in advance makes it a hell of alot easier to set up your dish especially when you are up an extension ladder.
