After assembling the dish last week, I finally dug up some coax and hooked it into the receiver, with mixed results. Good: got a decent signal, as worried I was about not facing due South. 500+ channels, 2% of them pr0n. Good enough: it's only to (presumably, from all the French) a Canadian satellite, the labels don't match and guide doesn't work. Meanwhile Time Warner continues to bill me, according to the guy behind the bulletproof window, because they haven't gotten around to disconnecting me from "the pole."
