Well I got my old round dish and reciver (ancient) and brought them to my condo tonight. First I tried with the sliding glass door and screen open, so nothing in my way. I immediately got 99 signal strength for 101, sweet! So then I tried it with the screen closed, signal lost completely, bummer. So then I tried with just the glass and no screen, signal dropped out again.
So it looks like the verdict is no DirecTV for me, period. They won't let me put a dish on the roof, they won't let me have one hang over my balcony, and the glass on my slider doesn't let the signal through. Well at least I know I exhausted all of my options, but it's so frustrating to know that I was at least able to pick up almost a perfect signal from inside my living room with the slider open.
Ugh, here's to Cox living up to their 100 HD channel at the end of the yaer promise, because it looks like I'm stuck with cable.
