Time Warner can say what they want about the actual games, but I like NFL Network's programming/news coverage, which is NOT available anywhere else. That's why I dropped Time Warner in October and picked up DirecTV.

I'm not planning on making any changes to the current install unless a problem arises. It's working fine (so far) and does the job. I don't need it to be mounted differently if this method does the trick...and so far it's doing the trick. The drilling issue is one for the future, but not...

Well, I finally have a working dish again. The installer (a different guy) came on Wednesday morning and realigned my dish. The reason I couldn't get a signal simply by moving the sled back to where it was originally was due to the fact that the original installer didn't tighten any (or many)...

The installer never talked to the landlord. I have a permission slip in writing saying that I had permission to get a hole drilled in my wall. What you always do doesn't mean anything to this guy, apparently. He said, and I quote, "I'm not drilling a hole."

Thanks. I was beginning to think I had to join a secret society before being qualified to expect a decent install without prior knowledge of the cost of a sled mount, etc. I've learned a lot from this experience and will definitely ask more questions tomorrow when the installer is supposed to...

Without a drill, pretty hard. Again, this wasn't my complaint. Everyone loves to put words in my mouth.

Although I had permission from the landlord to have a hole drilled through the wall, the installer said he wouldn't do it and would use a flat cable passed through the sliding glass door.

I've got to run to work, but I snapped some quick pics. Have at it. Just remember, this was how the installer said it should be done. I didn't TELL him to do it this way.

I was never told I'd be charged for anything. I never argued with the installer. I never said two words to the installer regarding being charged/not charged for anything. The sled mount decision wasn't "forced"...I never asked for anything. I set up an installation and let the guy do his...

Yeah, I tried that on several occasions on Sunday and today. I don't get any signal at all, which leads me to believe that either the dish itself somehow came loose (it was really banging around out there Saturday in the 30-40 mph winds, with the sled lifting off of the balcony by at least at...

So it seems the general consensus is that I ripped off the installer even though I have no signal 48 hours after the install due to the job not being completed correctly. Jeez, I guess I missed the part where it was my job to be the installer and not the customer. Maybe it's because some of...

Great. I got something for free...except the signal I'm paying for. That's what I have a problem with. Again, my question was "Is there a better way to install the dish on my balcony?" not "Did I get ripped off?" Today, I went out and bought 4 more cinder blocks to use with the sled mount...

Well, six would keep the thing from moving which would prevent the problem of me losing my signal completely. I've now had no signal for two days and won't have a signal until Wednesday...which could have been easily prevented had he just explained things a little better. If anybody's the...

After some research, I've discovered the problem is basically because I followed the installer's advice. Two concrete blocks -- his advice -- is not enough to weigh the mounting base down. I wouln't think it would be too hard for him to advise me to buy six concrete blocks instead of only...

On Thursday, I had my DirecTV HD dish and receiver installed. Having been unsatisfied with cable, I figured I'd made the right choice by going with DirecTV. I live in an apartment building and had gotten permission from my landlord to get the dish installed, which included permission to have...
