Direct TV HD az and el adjustment

First I have Dish, a campsite neighbor had Direct HD with the fancy elevation and azimuth fine tuning knobs and I want to retrofit this to the Dish antenna, but cannot fine it. Check internet but no luck anyone have an idea where to locate?

I believe the knobs are available at Lowes, I got them for my Directv HD dish and Hughes dish there.

Wish I had taken pic's, but sadly no. I sure was slick, you get in the ball park and then use the fine tuning knobs to zero in on elevation and azimuth.

This is a photo of the direct HD dish fine tuning, I think. http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/D...sh-Bracket.jpg

The full unit is shown here: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/W...Ku-Ka-Dish.htm

Here's another of the unit: http://images.solidsignal.com/iview....=Large-3#xview

You should ask if the adjustment "neck" is sold separately.

Just last week I had a Directv service man come to the house to check out a receiver that was giving me problems,he decided I needed a new receiver but he had to go back to the shop to pickup one. Before he left I asked him if there was anyway I could get a HD dish,I heard that they threw them out if the customer didn't need it anymore.
He came back with a near new HD Slim Line dish with the whole mount with knobs and everything plus an LNB to go with it. He also reeled off 40' of cable and put the ends on for me. All I had to do was ask!
