I will say, however, I hope those that get it have a lot of nerves - setting
the small dish systems up is a total pain. The guy who sold me my receiver
said "It's like aiming at a gnat's butt." He was wrong. It is more like
aiming at an amoeba's butt. My suggestion is to spend the extra cash and
have it installed.

I disagree. I helped install a Sony DSS 4 or 5 years ago for my parents.
It was very easy, hook the receiver up to your tv, enter your zip and it
will give you a starting point for aligning the dish. The Sony dish had a
blinking red LED on the LNB that blinked faster when the signal got
stronger.
And people that say that the wind can knock their dish out of alignment,
don't have it mounted securely enough. My parents haven't had one problem
with it since it was installed.
