Anyone Have a Dish on a Tower
Well after spending $1,000 on dish receivers, PVR's etc. the factory authorized dish installer (who I have to use) told me he can't install at my new house. I am surrounded by trees, and there is no line of sight to the satellite. He says I have to buy cable.
I refuse to buy cable. I will go without TV or go to an antenna before I buy cable.
So, option #1 is a dish mounted on a 20-25' tv tower that can be secured to an outbuilding up to the 12' mark. The top 8-13' feet would be unsupported.
Option #2 is my front lawn, which is ugly and will be an issue when we get some serious snowfall. I can't go too high off the ground there, maybe 2-3'. It might also contravene a by-law.
I have read that tower sway is an issue on windy days. Has anyone here done it?
Superbowl fail.
