I think the stump is gonna move itself in a few years, it's starting to disintegrate.......got some shrooms on it this year for the first time! I really want to put something more permanent in. Kinda like putting Vinyl on the house - it's done!

Picture is kinda misleading, they aren't really hanging over the dish - or they would have been the first and easiest to remove! I think that I will be trimming a lot this summer, so there is no question that anything I can reach will go. Haven't lost the signal since I got it back on Sunday...

If you are looking at the dish from the front, to the left(and a higher elevation) is dense forest and to the right(and a lower elevation) are wetlands. I am pretty much stuck where I am . At the time I had it installed, I thought ANYTHING was better than having to get cable. I am trying to...

I would climb up there to change it out if needed, it would be a lot sturdier than the wiggly extension ladder I climbed up this morning to cut a big branch down. must have been 18-20' off the ground, and it was scary, but it's done. I took a few more pictures looking at the dish from about...

Thank you, everyone, I appreciate all your thoughts. I am afraid I am stuck in the spot that the dish is in now, and at least I have my signal back now, and have bought some time to think about this!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write, CVarner. I appreciate your thoughts and it sounds like a great idea! The Stump is in the woods, so no lawn to mow back there, thank goodness. I like the tower idea, very ingenious, I am glad I asked, and even more glad you responded! Thanks again!

Satellite Dish pictures by juliegnh - Photobucket I got the service back after lopping off a big branch that I could barely reach with the ladder extended all the way. Maybe only a few feet higher would be ok, for the dish. I attached a picture of the view from behind the dish. Please weigh...

Yes, I can get a picture for you today. I will post later on.

Thanks jtwex, guess I have some more research to do on this little project.

I assume I would use the same extension ladder that I have used to lop off the branches from the sides of the trees that are about 20 feet in front of the dish, hoping that would cure the problem. I am not saying that the solution I came up with is the best, that's why I am asking for advice on...

I guess that was what I was asking, what the logistics are, how high can I go, do I have to use guy wires if I get up say 15-20'? How can something like this be accomplished? I am looking for a way to elevate the dish so I can get up above the tree growth(not my trees) from the last 13 years....

Sure, ok, but where the dish is currently mounted on a big 'ole stump that is about 4 feet off the ground, I figure if I am getting interference now, then the only way to correct it is to go higher, and while I have to put all the time and effort into it, I might as well go up pretty high, so I...

Thanks for responding, Jimbo! No, the dish is no where near the house, it is down in the back yard about 30-40 ft away. It was the only way to clear those trees. I figure the only choice I will have is a long pole, and am trying to do the research now, so I do it correctly.

Hello- I have had Directv for about 13 years and have my dish mounted in the back yard on a huge tree stump so that it would clear some trees(not on my property). Well, after 13 years, I think those trees have gotten a little taller and I am having some intermittent reception issues(mostly...
