[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 340252, member: 199791"] Just a little technique I tried out a while back, using Google Earth I took a screenshot of above where I live, then overlayed a compass image, then using MSPaint I drew out the approximate direction of each satellite I want (only one was out of reach, which was Astra 2), and printed the image out, sat it in my windowsill aligned with the road outside, then got my indoor dish aligned a lot faster than usual (with the aid of my alignment meter, the needle display type), it's a lot easier than waving the dish about hoping to get the right satellite... :) [/QUOTE]
