Very wicked. I was going through all of the little charts and stuff to calculate True South, subtracting this, adding that, and I thought 'geeze I have a gps why do I have to do any of this!'
I actually have my gps coordinates of where I want the dish installed. I was kind of hoping I could punch them into something to get the Magic Numbers I'd need to align the dish for the first time. Trying to cut down on first timer frustration and all that. I do happen to have a digital camcorder and dvd writer.. maybe I'll make a newbie
installer video replete with mistakes
I just ordered the number 4 special from
Sadoun's 'complete installs'.
