They are not included in a standard install. There are now and have been for as long as I can remember standards out there for what is included and what is not included in a free install. (remember this is only free to the subscriber, everybody else in this transaction is trying to put groceries on the table). Hop in your car, run down to HD, Menards, or Lowes,, buy a pole, concrete, tools, and the extra length of cable required. Then spend the time required to survey the site to make sure it will work (If it doesn't you don't just lose the cost of your materials and labor for the pole, but also your time, materials, labor, and vehicle expenses for the whole job). Add the extra time required to explain/educate a customer about the Clark belt, satellites, and why you can't see sunlight through trees. (Remember time is money and your spending someone else's), spend however long you want trenching it across your lawn, add up the money you have put out and the time you have spent x your current rate of pay and decide for your self if it is worth it. I have been doing this stuff for a living for a long time. If the installer is telling you he will do it for $75 he is desperate for work, I suggest taking advantage of his situation. I am a very experienced installer, tv, internet, commercial, etc. I am the man you all want to show up when you want your system installed. When I show up at your house and you start telling me that I should dig in your dirt but still try to low ball me on the worth of my labor you will get what you ask for. Do you want a tech or a ditch digger?
