I have teams that I watch heavily in the pac12 and SEC. I have been considering the jump to dish for 2 years now and almost made the move until the recent chatter about the SEC deal on the way. Now I have planned an install date with dish for Sept after season starts just in case this deal...

Noob here needing advice. I want to upgrade to HD but after researching it appears it is going to be a bit of a hassle. The slimline will not fit on the trim on the side of the roof where my oval dish is now. I intended to place it on a pole below its current location until I realized that...
