792063 2009-07-16 01:13:00 Does that work for Northern Hemisphere inhabitants too or do we need to get a fix on the Southern Cross to use it? SurferJoe46 (51)
792064 2009-07-16 01:20:00 Used this site a few times, quite useful but often not exact enough for a final setup, at least it points you in the right direction. wratterus (105)

Yep, it even works for upside down 110 volt dishes. Caution, just because you are all upside down there, don't try to put your dish in the basement. For technical reasons this will not give a satisfactory signal. Just remember that the satellite doesn't know you are a season or two behind, so gardening hints may need a bit of time-shifting.

We like to view the history channel a lot too to see what you blokes screwed up yesterday so we can fix it all right today.

Good to know that yesterday is in good hands.
You may need to know that tomorrow (for you) should be fine, we are saving all the sunny bits for you over there in posterity, (Sorry we used so much of the rain, it was not intended.)
