I bought the dish, tripod and node. Went out this past weekend and set it up and it worked OK. We were fairly close to home and I was disappointed to be unable to get the locals in HD but the Hopper switched to SD alternative and it worked fine. I'm not sure that I had my dish tweaked exactly and I'm going to salvage the screw type adjuster found on my old DirecTv dish and swap it for the existing mount. That should allow for more precise aiming. I also used the SiteAlign system on my old dish setup and will be adding it to the new dish. A real time saver.
In any case, thanks for the info. Now where did I put that remote . . .
