Where do I point it?
Ok, here goes. Move from Zaragoza to Alhaurin El Grande has been completed, internet has been set up and Sky TV installed. However there is still one thing to do before the wife allows me to relax in the pool with a cool beer (no Ambar down here 
, but we have covered that on a different thread).
My TDT box wont pick up any channels. I am thinking it it is a problem with the direction of the aerial but where can I find information as to the angle to point the aerial. I am not sure I want to get on the roof and try trial and error, Rod Hull and Emu are to vivid a memory for that
.
Any help appreciated

I forget what the settings are, probably someone will be a long to advise you soon or you could try google. You can buy a variety of gizmos from Maplin to help you fine tune the dish. See here>

Thanks, but it is not the dish, it is the normal TV aerial.

The main transmitter is the big one on the mountain behind Mijas.
Make sure you've got it polarised the right way up - see what everyone else's are doing and do the same.

What the hell was he doing trying to fix an ariel with emu anyway.
I always thought that emu was alive and well and had fathered loads of chicks.
Sad news, because out of the 2 emu was the one with the talent.
