[mythtvnz] Re Aligning a Sky dish for Freeview (Jonathan Guthrie)

Just interested to know why, if you have TelstraClear cable you are 
after Freeview as well?

TelstraClear send the Freeview channels and Prime down the cable 
unencoded, all you need to do is tune to the relavant frequency with a 
standard Haupauge card, to get these. The Mythtv frequency setting is 
able to do the tuning. I put a 3 way splitter in the cable, send one to 
the settop box and the other 2 to my cards, and feed the output from the 
settop box into a 3rd card.

I have the frequencies if you are interested.

Subject: [mythtvnz] Aligning a Sky dish for Freeview

A while ago we had Sky via satellite, then we got it cheaper and easier
via TelstraClear cable... however the dish stayed on the roof until we
replaced the roof last year.

However I'd like to put it back on the roof and set it up so I can get
Freeview on MythTV  :) 

Is there any resource out there that may save me time/hassle working out
how to align it etc?

ta.
