Couldn't agree more, just there did not seem a lot of better options and it would work if your friend was desperate enough!

No hints intended above the usual concerns of how much will it take to work, rather it seemed you were not too sure about how the 
magical sat dishes found where to look....

I do not know for sure but understand this is part of the trickery behind auto dish positioning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiSEqC 
and the box I suggested had some of that in it, not sure about versions of it etc...
