Yes,

You can request any tech that you want. I have had local customers request (demand) that I be sent to do their work.

However,

There is no way they are going to try to comply with such an off the wall idea. They set up a big distribution system so the next guy in line gets the next work order.

AND the reason for moving a functioning dish escapes me. People never want to move chimneys or plumbing stacks.

Think how the dish will feel. Just when it is settling in and making friends you want it to move? It just isn't fair! I am going to use a forceful but lighthearted icon!

Depends on how the tech gets routed. Get your appointment scheduled and call Directv and get your activity number and give it to the tech. He then can tell his dispatch to route him to that job. I do it all the time.

Why did he recommend it? Line of sight issue? Is it not sturdy where it is? If it's working, makes no sense to move it unless its just an aesthetics thing for you.

If it's his house and his dish, he can put it anywhere he wants as long as it still has los and he pays for it. I don't understand why some posters feel the need to be rude about it. He didn't ask you to move it or pay for it.

I don't blame you one bit. You should get what you pay for! If you wanted the dish painted with purple and punk polka dots, that's your business. You'd be a little weird and I would drive by your house every day to point and laugh, but that's your right! I still think you should hire Bill Murray to off those chipmunks, gophers, squirrels, ghosts or whatever they are.

If he is having critter problems, I would leave the dish alone, just run the coax inside some conduit. I haven't met a squirrel or rat yet who can chew through EMT! :D
