I'm in a rented house with a VHF/UHF aerial, but not getting a very good reception. One of the things I want to verify is the orientation, but I'm struggling to find transmitter information.  

I found http://www.lincrad.co.nz/transmittersites.html in geekzone, but it's not overly specific about actual transmitter addresses (I could use Google Earth to get reasonably accurate bearings)

Is there another source to try?

Thanks

Hey welcome to GZ. Help us to help you.

Where are you?

What's the current condition of the aerial and cabling?

Are you looking for analogue or freeview digital or freeview satellite reception?

Current condition of cabling and aerial is unknown. 
I'm using a  Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200 card (DVB-T) with Windows 7 and Windows Media Centre.

I'm located in Highland Park, Manukau, Auckland.
