Need help with satellite feed
Hey, guys. Have any of you actually done a setup like this before? We have a large satellite dish in a separate location from our main building (it is in a middle school that is next door). We got the details from the NASA-TV site, but we lack the experience to set this up.

What kind of equipment do we need? How do we figure out the proper direction to point the satellite (other than 85 degress west)? If we actually capture the satellite signal, what is required to decode it (something to do with the frequency, polarization, and audio, right)?

Any help would be appreciated.
