    Frustrated and Angry at DTV. Need some advice

    Thanks all. The roof is steep (greater than 45 deg and two stories). An antenna guy put up an antenna with a climbing rope and tied off, so it can be done. Not sure about the weight and wind load of a big dish up on the peak of the roof? Guess I'll try a local installer from the phone book and...

    Frustrated and Angry at DTV. Need some advice

    Location is Southern Illinois 62903. The lot is heavily wooded, so it does not surprise me. My frustration is more that one installer says it will work and has me cut down a tree. Second one says no way. This doesn't do much for customer service. How does one find the "best installer" in the...

    Installer came by today. He was very helpful and ultimately we came to some resolution on where to install, but I was surprised to learn the following: 1. Can't install anywhere on the roof if it is ABOVE a living area. Extended from an overhang is fine or over the garage, etc. 2. Can't install...

    Is the AM21 FREE for new installs in Mkts w/o all HD Locals?

    So I am getting installed tomorrow and my market does not have the full compliment of HD locals (no PBS or IND or mutli-cast). I can't seem to get the Direct Phone folks to confirm whether the installer will or will not have the AM21 on the truck and even if he does, whether it is free. The CSR...
