Uh, you have to get the 2x2 block to the upper right silly... Getting it to the lower right does happen as part of the full solution, but it's only the first of the corners you need to visit... See my other post.
Pieces numbered scan order as 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8. 0 is left, 1 is right, 2 is up, 3 is down. Moves counted one grid pos at a time - there may well be a shorter one under different move metrics. Kinda neat that big square piece visits all corners on way to finish.
Not that anyone's impressed or anything - pretty easy to write a solver for this sort of puzzle in terms of 64 bit bit-ops. Is there anything in particular about Haskel that's good for this kind of thing?
Stick the platters near a source of strong alternating magnetic fields, change the relative 3d orientation of the source a few times, and run the source for a long time. Make sure there's no interposing metal that could reduce the field density at the surface of the platter, or increase field strength to compensate, and then melt the entire drive.

See my other post. I wrote a program. No way I'm wasting my time randomly trying things by hand...
Whipped up a solution finder. Here's the result.

I know the LNB's for Dish Network and DirecTV are compatible. Probably mutually with PrimeStar.
