Move the dish to the roof or where she can't see it.
If the 'whife' wants you to take the dish down, you obviously have the wrong whife.
The only thing whorse is a whife whith a wheapon.

Just tell her you can't afford to subscribe to cable that's why you need the dish. The threat of no more Lifetime should scare her good.

Dish? what dish? I don't see a dish?
Where is it? How did it get there?
I wonder who put it there? Maybe they will come back for it.
Maybe it belong to the city.
I wouldn't know how to take down one of those darned things.
Aren't they radioactive? I mean they keep getting hit by rays from outer space.
It doesn't sound like something we should mess with.

Come on! Who wears the pants in the family. When I first installed mine it looked like this:

Guess what, it still looks like that since I've been too lazy to fix it and since my wife loves having Dish and a PVR, it isn't going anywhere. :evilgrin: :)

Chris that is one of the worst installations I have ever seen, but I like it... BECAUSE it works. :D
I have mentioned a few times I wanted to get rid of Dish and she threatened me, she loves the PVR's (of course shes also the person who bitches at me the most when the Dishplayers Screw up (like its my fault). :D
Gosh, that's beautiful, in an ugly sort of way. Bet your patio parties are a sight! :)
Ask your wife what it would take to get her drop the dish issue? Lifetime Movie network? Pedicure at the local beauty college? ;)
Tell her "You never listen. If you really love me, you'll understand how much that old dish means to me. Someday I want to pass that dish along to my son....Now, we will not speak of this again."
Yep, I think that the fairer sex is getting a bum rap here. While I'm sure it has happened, I have never come across a wife who objected to a dish. Far more likely for some anal retentive male neighbor or homeowners association to raise a fuss.

Chris, up until last weekend, I had you beat. I just moved and placed my Dish 500 in a big flower pot and propped it up against a fence and held it steady with 1 gallon water jugs. Talk about WAF! Fortunately, she never ventured out to that side of the house.
To top that off, my 121" RS UHF/VHF antenna for HD was sitting right outside the back door on top of our patio table. Man those things are sure big when they are down at eye level.
I commented to my wife how it looked like the Beverly Hillbillies had just moved in.

Chris, that's an instering installation, but since you take the Dish500 with you when you go camping that is a great idea to have it on a tripod like that. When you get stong wind gusts does the tripod move alot or do the bricks keep it pretty much in place?
I posted this before, but here's my set up
