It was the attitude I got from the installer. The moment I told him my association did not allow roof mounts (Even after telling the sales person, and the woman who called to confirm the appointment) said he could not do the install. I live in a development with 165 condos. We all have the...

Would they mount the pole to the house? I don't have a place where they could dig since it's a concrete patio. I talked to another neighbor and he said I just had a crappy installer and that he had a site supervisor come out to do his install with no troubles as far as side mounting it.

note... the dish had to be installed on a patio. I don't have any ground for a pole mount unless he wanted to bracket the pole to the side of my condo.

I'm just lost. This guy "COULD" have made it work. Dish Network installed a HUGE dish on my patio and did it in a way that he could hang on the damn dish and it wouldn't move. This guy was just pissed that it wasn't a 1-2-3 roof mount. It was like he was purposely complaining that he only...

I'm at a loss. My neighbor FINALLY cut down all his trees leaving me with a perfect line of site (a reason why I couldn't go with Direct years ago. The installer came out and immediately talked about a roof install. I informed him I could not have a roof install due to my condo rules. I said...

This is where Dish pissed me off to no avail. Even after asking the installer "Are you sure they aren't vent installs?" he stated that they were not, and if I did not believe me that I could climb up on the roof and check for myself. I took his word for it. Well, they WERE vent installs and...

The wall mount was attached to rotted trim and it was the only place on my patio he could install it. I was also getting horrible signals because my neighbors tree magically grew over the LOS. They want everything removed and told me to patch it with roof cement. I was tempted to leave it in...

The community dish idea was struck down because they said it would be a significant cost to the association to do this. They also said people would fight between dish and direct.

Thanks, but unfortunately OTARD doesn't protect you from putting satellites on your roof in condo associations. I've torn the net up looking for loop holes but every legal site and FCC site I've been to states Condo's with roof exclusions = no deal.

Dish came out a year ago and installed an eastern arc and a separate wing dish so I could get receiption on my patio. 3 weeks ago I went outside to check the dish because the signal was horrible and I noticed the wing dish was coming off the wall. I called dish and they came out (I have the 6...

My neighbor has a HUGE tree and the installer did not think that the tree would be a problem. Last year it wasn't... this summer... OMFG the signal would go out at the slightest breeze. It was totally annoying and I dealt with it. I just have to get through winter (no leaves on the tree) and...

one of these days I wont kick and scream and will be excited to see Dayton Ohio getting HD locals on the EA. So tired of having 2 dishes (not a wing dish, but 2 separate dishes on my back patio) I feel like I live at an airport with all the equiptment. oh well :)

Thanks! It's only been a week and I'm patiently waiting for the info on how much they'll pay. Personally I'd like another 1080p and although I love the Plasma and how nice it was, I'd rather have an LCD or LED that doesn't drain the power.

Luckily I just reimaged my PC 3 weeks prior. I even had the Windows 7 Ultimate disk in the drive. (My damn signature edition for throwing a house party for Microsoft) So I added that to the claim 319.99. The laptop was password protected too (Thank goodness) poor theives... the mobo was bad...

Yeah... I've since stopped using Foursquare and am currently working on revamping my facebook/blog usage. In all fairness, our gas company was on site for the week and had been asking my neighbors about my unit, when I'd be home, where I was, etc... they wanted to turn the gas back on to my...
