I have pointed satellite dishes for a previous job. they are rather easy to do. If you can load a new program into the box then will probably not have to change out the LNB. If you would like to try pointing the dish yourself I could help with the instructions. If you need help onsit then I will have to make arrangements in my schedule. but I am willing to help.
