This We dey spin off is new and exciting......:rolleyes:

Ive got the official directv permission form signed, so I should be good. My apartment complex seems to be pretty lax on the whole satellite issue. What do you mean "real" authority by the way? Should'nt someone from the apt. office suffice? Heres what I have signed; this is OK right...

Yeah I will just have to offer the installer help and a tip if he can do what your describing. I will just hope for the best. Also good to see another person from cincy on here too, Who Dey! Update; Looks like the problem is solved, I got permission to use the balcony rail mounts from...

Yeah i just called the local install office and they dont have a tripod for the 5lnb. However my tripod is currently bolted to my balcony, last dude used a masonry drill. So hopefully the installer I get this time wont have a problem since the tripod is secured? I am pretty disheartened about...

Oh, I didnt know the 5 lnb was alot bigger. My dish right now is on a tripod that the installer put on my balcony. Hopefully that is good enough.

Im getting my new 5lnb dish next week. Right now my 3lnb is getting great signal, but there are some trees in the area that worry me. If My 3lnb is going strong is there any reason I should be stressing the 5lnb? I just dont know how far away the HD birds are from the ones I curently using.

Good deal, thanks alot!

Probably a dumb question, but here goes; I upgraded my system to get a HDdvr reciever since i just got a HD TV. I currently have a 3 LNB dish. I read somewhere for HD you need a 3 or 5 LNB dish. The 5 LNB is included with my installalation so...Should I tell the installer to go ahead and throw...

I can finally rest about the satellite issue! My installer was awesome and there was no problem getting a line of sight. I am so relieved and I love Directv now.:)

I WISH! I dont think the Apt. management would appreciate that much though.:D

You have just taken a load off my mind thank you very much, I think I will fine too, just paranoid that I put my wife through a huge pain for nothing. Ill let you know what happens.:)

Thats great to hear thanks. I understand about him not being able to in my last apartment. There was nothing he could do. The only reason I worry now is that yes I do have an Apt facing south and has a perfect view of southeast(I live in Vegas, so this is where the last installer said it had to...

I dont know if anyone remembers my long story about how I moved Aptartments(to one that was facing south) and paid the fee to switch units. I just finished moving today and I am beat. Anyway I have my installation appointment tommorrow and I cant help but be nervous, after reading some of these...

OK quick question. The Phase threes(I am assuming this is the basic dish that I will be getting from Directv) are offset dishes right? If my elevation angle is supposed to be 45' then is that including the 20' or so offset angle? If what im thinking is correct the the dish will appear to be...

Very true. I am just going to go for it. Better to try and fail then to wonder if I could be watching my team every sunday while my wife fetches beer.
