    Question about Directv installation procedure

    I saw someone here say that a bucket shouldn't be used for a dish. For those of us that live in apartments, that are not on the ground floor, and for those of us whose apartments don't allow you to mount anything on the railings, how on earth would you get a dish there? The more I read here...

    Is my installer gouging me?

    Could it be said that, in general, that if he wants to charge me more than $75 for a pole mount that I'm getting screwed by the guy? Or are there a lot more variables involved?

    Is my installer gouging me?

    I guess this would be the appropriate place to ask this question instead of creating a new thread. The DirecTv installer is coming over on Friday to install my dish. For now, I believe, this will just be the regular nonHD dish until I can save up some money for the HDDVR (not to mention I'm...

    Directv/Dish Pointing Question

    I'm moving into an apartment complex that will let me install Directv, which I've had for eons now and would prefer to still have. I just bought a HDTV a little while ago, and would like to get the dish installed that allows me to get that programming. I believe the dish I need is fairly large...
