If I ever figure out what's in the box then maybe I can think outside of it.

DanB: Yes, I did the whole thing by myself because the only partner that I have is my son's dog.

The training to get cetified got my through the whole process. The first time I looked at the material to learn I was scared, but I guess that "if there is a will there is a way" and finally got the certificacion test completed and installed at home (Austin-Texas).

Had it runing for a week there and brought it here and the rest is history.

Lots of people in this board went out of their way to offer advice, telephones, etc.

I had no phone at the site (cells do not reach this area) and the alignment requires to take measurements while you holding on the phone. The satellite passes the co-polarization and cross-polarization readings over the phone and you then make adjustments. I went to a public phone some miles away, but got the right readings on the first try.
