I am planning on installing TV, DAB and Analogue FM aerials and a satellite
dish this weekend on the new build I am doing. I have brought a little
signal finder jobbie for the satellite dish, but most of the advice I have
had about terrestrial transmitter locations is to look at which direction
my
neighbor's aerial is pointing and align mine in roughly the same direction.

Given I have brought the mutts's of TV aerials (at least that's what the
bloke who sold me said) I was hoping that I could apply a little more
science to pointing it the appropriate direction. I was hoping to find a
website that allowed you to put in the grid reference of your aerial
location and it would tell you the compass direction of your nearest
transmitter - maybe that's too much to ask, even a route finder that gives
you an "as the crow flies" direction between 2 points would work.

Any ideas?
