Just curious, how old are you? I'm 63 and I don't feel at all comfortable on a roof any more, especially having inner ear and vertigo problems. I don't bounce as good as I used to either.
Thanks Titanium, but I can’t. I don’t feel it’s worth the risk. I’ll continue looking, and I’ll probably find a better dish ground mounted.

Now that's what I was talking about the other day. A nice 3D effect with the two pictures side-by-side like that. Should have made the distance between the two shots just a bit more though.
46 Just found about REAL FTA in June. I haven’t ever climbed a high roof before.
I’m gonna have to get the KTI 10 footer from my “DIY C-Band Dish” thread. I really really didn’t want/have room for a 10 footer but all the 8 footer’s are on high poles in my area. So, I’ll have to get a 10 footer...
I think satellite companies like Dish & DirecTV and cable providers are seeing the writing on the wall. As more people get high speed internet, the more people will turn to streaming services. I think they're headed for the same doomsday scenario I saw with BUD's years ago. Just a matter of time before everything will be streaming.
Ok so I'll throw in an idea. So for the most part, Dish & Direct don't really cater to the ideals of middle rural America. Plus they're damn near $200 a month now a days for everything. At least $100 and if you're in a contract that "discount price" usually double half way through. People are sick of paying that kinda money for stuff they don't really want. Many of you are predicting a shift toward internet video but rural internet access is still meh and probably will be for a while. Im predicting that a shift to OTA or FTA for that reason. There is a ton more stuff I would like to watch on FTA (DIY, Retro, Outdoors, etc) than cable unless the internet can get its rural act together quickly. Either that or the cable /pizza dish providers are going to have to go Ala carte with channels being $1/$2 each. If Steve Jobs was still alive I think we would already have Ala carte programming at such a price.

Thier will be a need for satellites over fiber satellites go where the internet can't go. Natural disater happens damages fiber cables but satellites still working. I like going outside and fixing my dish.
