Cliff's Notes:
Does anyone have the skills to properly align a HughesNet dish at the satellite? I'll gladly pay CASH for the help.

Long version:
Being a high country resident, I am forced to use the HughesNet satellite service for internet access. Other options (like point to point radio wave or whatever services) are not available to me because I'm totally buried in the trees - they came up here once and told me "forget it". I'm stuck with satellite. Qwest has told me that high speed cable "is coming" for 13 years, so no hope of that anytime soon either.

The last few days my connection has sucked ass: slow, and going in and out sporadically sometimes for hours at a time. Last night I called customer service and they ran some diagnostics. Result? "Your dish is slightly out of alignment...it's $125 to have a tech come out to align it." All of the sudden it's out of alignment, after 3+ years. Huh.... Maybe a bird hit it or something? Got me.

$125! And the service itself is $75 a month. That friggin hurts. Especially when I know the guy will turn the dish 1/8" and say "there you go!"

Any ideas/help would be appreciated. PM's for anonymity if your an installer of course.
