This site allows you to type in your postal code, and shows you a google earth map of your area. You can then pinpoint your dish by moving the hand, then simply select the sat you want to find. Nice!

Very good indeed. I confirm it works as well with a Canadian Zip Code.

And all this put together tells the site where you are plus what satellites you are looking at. Brilliant. Even better when you give them longitude and latitude because that way they know where your front door is.

There are lots of downloadable programs which install on a pc free of charge and don't report back to a site. Use them instead.

It doesn't report anything to anyone. That's paranoid, schizophrenic, delusional thinking. Do you think there going to knock on the door of legit users too?

If you talk on a cell phone and drive I think you should be beheaded.
