Another friend of mine brought a system just to watch the horse races. So maybe advertise at the horse tracks too
You know, the TeleSatellite International magazine comes with software for downloading the transponder listings and such. But, it also has provisions for sorting according to languages, dish sizes, frequency bands, etc. So, you can use it to figure out what sats are viewable from your location, and their look angles. This can help you decide where to place the dish (or, dishes, in the case of some of us) relative to trees and buildings.
