Great turn-a-round!!
About that dish.......you can have HD if you want. The D-TV techs are not allowed to install the big dish unless they can mount it "by the book". Call them back up and tell them you want the HD dish and that you will install it yourself. Considering it is a boat, I would mount it to something you build that sits in the corner of the deck -- that will make it easy to move it around to get the signal.
