Find a new
installer! As long as your mast is mounted securely and you have your motor / dish assembly mounted securely to the mast there is no problem that I have seen. Sounds like a DN or DTV installer.
As to HD FTA. You will need to decide where you are going to spend your money. You will either need a fairly powerful PC and a PCI tuner card or a set top box (STB). The STB is in the $650.00 range and depending on what you build PC wise the cost will vary.
A 90cm or greater dish with a low noise level lnbf. Most everyone here at this forum has installed their own systems along with some who install commercially. Installing yourself is not difficult. Just requires patience and attention to detail.
Something to keep in mind when spending money on a FTA system is that channel selection is not promised. What is here now may not be in an hour. I have found a boatload of channels though so even when some go encrypted seems like others pop up. If you want to skip the HD stuff for now you can have a decent system for less than $500.00 totally installed and operational installing yourself. Far less than that depending on dish, receiver and lnbf you choose.
