Cool.  I'll have a snuffle on TradeMe (wow, lots!), but also look at
freeviewshop.co.nz, they seem to be reasonably priced.

The dish will be attached to a landscaping fence about 4.5m from the
house and below it, so I can go reasonably large. :)

Heh, more expense.  :)  I'm probably going to put two LNBs on anyhow for
Optus D1 & D2 in anycase, so I'll want another card for the server...
