Fezmid Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 TW sucks , i have no chance with all the trees in my back yard for the dish . 776462[/snapback] That's exactly what Nervous Guy kept saying, but I convinced him to have an installer come out, and guess what? He's enjoying DirecTV now. Chances are you can get it - people get scared off by the tree thing, but the dish usually points up above them -- it doesn't look like it when you see one, but it does. There's several houses in my neighborhood that have the dish pointing right at the side of their house, but it works. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 They told me a truck hit a utility pole and took them down. Sounds like it will be a while before they can work around it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although technically a truck could hit a utility pole knocking out power to your TV, but those are just details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW 776524[/snapback] The only problem I had was the kid they sent out for my install only used 2 bolts to secure my main dish down, and one of them was only in 1/2 way. So the slightest bit of wind would flex the bracket just enough to knock it out of alignment. The tech they sent out put in the other two bolts, tightened everything down, and now I have no problems.

Otherwise the monsoon could snap a coax cable and I'd be without TV for a day or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
