Direct TV Question

**Vanilla Garilla** · 08-23-2009, 10:28 AM

So Direct TV is going to be here Tuesday to install, and I was just wondering, does it cost more to have the dish installed ground level, or at least somewhere where i can get to it?

I don't have a ladder so i absolutely do not want it on the roof, i am hoping they can put it somewhere i can reach it off the ground. I am 6'3 so that should help the cause.

I don't know if it costs more, but they have the means to install it on a tripod looking thing. I see a lot of apartment people with that setup. As long as they can see the Southern Ski.

Not sure why you would want to be able to get to it. I have had DirecTV for 8 years now at my home, Lakehouse and bars and never once have had a need to touch any of the dishes. Just my two cents. I would leave it alone once they installed it.

Well my buddy who has Dish Network, says he always has to climb his *** on the roof to wipe snow off, and re adjust it sometimes. I don't know if that's a common occurrence, or not.

He lives in Arizona

So I guess he just has to clear sand off it!!

I have never had to adjust mine. I live in Southern California so I don't worry about snow. Occasionally, I have to go chase the damn flying rats off of it. (Seagulls)

I agree. I live in Michigan and we get our fair share of snow. I've only had DirecTV for one year, but I never had to wipe anything off the dish.

AHHHHHH.....I did not consider that. The bald one is correct, I live in Az so we don't have to shovel the sunshine. Good luck.
