Where does he live? If he's in the US lower 48 he should be ok with an average ku setup for AMC4. I always say a 1meter dish, but 31-33" would prob pick that satellite up just fine. Click on the sponsor's links at the top of the page, some or all of them sell a fixed-dish system or will help you put one together. Everyone likes that Mercury 2 receiver for beginners.
edit: Sadoun and SatelliteAV both sell a fixed dish system with reciever I mentioned for under $200 (add shipping though)
Not to slight any other sponsor-those are just the first 2 that I looked at for you!
