Not saying it can't be done, but I am saying I think some people in this thread are making it sound much easier than it really is. Take it for what it's worth, but you've got 2 people who have a background in electronics telling you it's harder than some people here are making it out to be.
The assumption is that someone with enough technical understanding to not only know how to set up a system like the one he's using, but also be able to identify the problem and culprit of the issue he's facing might posses the know-how to be able to fix it as well

If he knows, he knows. If he doesn't he doesn't. Either way, it's a solution to the problem, and one worth offering to him as long as he does it the way it needs to be done. If not, then it's wasted time and money.
