    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Well, I went ahead and grabbed Comcast - they had a good deal running, and considering we have just renewed our lease for another year at this complex, this will be the best bet. The money/price is right, and they have all of the HD channels I'd want (BTN, ESPNs, FSN, FX, locals) in much better...

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    I asked about alternate placement of the dish, but unfortunately they will not allow it unless it is on the balcony or directly next to the building where my apartment is located. The landlords, while great people, are very particular about satellite television. She almost turned up her nose...

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Unfortunately, I do not have LOS at my apartment, so it looks like I won't be able to join the satellite crowd at this time. I will be looking for other options for television, as I almost broke the television from having to look at blocky, compressed HD during football and Grimm last night...

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Sweet, that's what I like to hear! I have the appointment set for install on Halloween. Was hoping for sooner, but that'll do. At least the Raiders are on a bye week. Thank you all for your help and information!

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Will do, and thank you for all of the great information. So, I really shouldn't be concerned with signal loss? I may seem like I'm being a bit ... overcautionary, but as I said, never been here so I want to cover all bases.

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Yes. If you look at that photo, the line of apts directly east of mine have Directv and Dish both at a number of them. They are all on the ground, but on the east-facing side. I kind of feel that if they are on the ground and receiving signal, I will probably be okay. One guy's looks as though...

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Here is the snip of the complex. The question mark denotes where I may be able to place the dish on the ground - not a big fan of this though, as the local kids play football in that area. The green line is satellite 101. Again, I'm on the top, so it may be able to clear the roof.

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    I looked at the DishPointer site, and it appears that the satellites I would most likely need (99, 101, 103?) go at an angle over the apartment building. It would almost have to be mounted on the balcony, although it could maybe be mounted on the ground between buildings. I'll try and get a...

    Possibly switching from AT&T U-Verse, some concerns and questions

    Hello everyone, I have done a little research, and read through some of the articles here, but have not really found the answers I am looking for. This seems like a great community, so I figured you guys would be my first stop. I currently have AT&T U-Verse in Tuscaloosa, AL. The quality of...
