Steven, ERT is free on the B3, and even when UBI locks its channels, it is still available on the B3 at a different frequency. You do not need to contact UBI or anything like that. <br /><br />For those needing to move a dish to point to B3, all you need is a protractor and a knowlege of where true north is, that's all I used and I found it (with 98% quality) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> . <br /><br />ERT is broadcast from two different frequencies, one is UBI and the other Globecast(which is free), so no need to subscribe to UBI if you only want ERT.<br /><br />Disregard everything UBI told you on the phone, all they want is your money!<br /><br />Those of you living in Sydney, you do not even need a protractor, as your dish must face directly north, the lnb rotated so the wire is perpendicular with the ground (ie at 90 deg) and the elevation about 50degrees. As the only trouble for you will be the height of the dish, fix the other 2 thing first, then fiddle with the height. No need for a satellite finder or anything like that.<br /><br />To find North just use a road map, see where you are and what direction your house faces, or use the sun. Remember the sun rises in the east <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" /> .<br /><br />This is what I basically did to find the Optus B3 (never had any satellite experience before) and I found it no troubles at all. I just had the extra protractor step <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> .<br /><br />Need to find where to point your dish, use http://www.satsig.net/ssazelm.htm<br /><br />First find your city's longtitude/latitude on google and the satellite orbit degree (152 for B3)
