We mount all of our superdishes on poles in the yard, and make a customer sign a waiver if they want it roof mounted...
we had too many damage claims with the legacy Tri-Beams in Philly to see what may happen say a big storm comes around. Roof mounting a 36" dish is a nightmare.
I wish you were my installer.
First one said he couldn't do a pole mount (ground wasn't marked for utilities).
Second one said they'd have to send a "hole digger" first, then a dish installer. Why don't you want a roof mount???
Troubleshooter says the same thing as second one. But I'd put it on the edge of the roof, the overhang, in case it leaks.
WTF? That really inspires confidence.
I've lost my locals bec. the current mount is behind a tree that decided to grow 2 feet in the 2 months since installation.
I can't decide whether to call back or not. I really don't plan to keep locals ... but I"m paying for them ... but if I've lost 105 eventually that tree will grow to the point where 110 and 119 are obscured ... argggh. I hesitate to put it anywhere on the roof, 1) because of potential leaks, 2) because of the dam tree that grows 2' per year.
Is there an easy way to tell where 105, 110, and 119 are located? The troubleshooter had a little box he looked through to tell him.
Does the pole mount require guy lines?
