1. I'm in the MSP area so I had PSB hook me up....I tried to aim it myself, but didn't have much luck...once you have it right, you don't need to adjust it....
2. I had to run new cables into the house; it is totally separate from any other dish
3. the feed could end tomorrow or they could change the location of the satellite...I had to have PSB come out a couple years ago to repoint the dish but it's still well worth it... Enjoy!
