I don't know if we can start polls or not. I was just wondering how many of you have one or more satellite dishes on your roof? Can photos be posted too?

I just have one a Dish 1000.2. I will try and post a photo here after my meeting tonight.

I currently have 2.. An old single LNB from the previous owner that I continue to put off taking down, and my shiny new D* slimline on the opposite corner.

Three, but not on the roof. They're mounted on a 10' chain-link fence post sunk 48" into the ground
with a concrete anchor (dish tree) within the FCC-defined exclusive-use boundries of my apt. patio -
all currently inactive.

1 - Dish 500 pointed @ orbital slot 110º W,119º W
1 - Dish 300 pointed @ orbital slot 61.5º W
1 - Voom HD pointed @ orbital slot 61.5º W

I have three. Started with two 3LNB dishes to support 2 DVR receivers and one regular. Got a Slimline when I installed HR20 DVR.

ZERO on roof

at one point had 8 in the yard (semi-permanent)... various placements depending on the bird needed and usage

Three dishes and an RS VU-190 outdoor antenna. Not that any of these are in use anymore, they're still up there for decoration. :)

What's that white stuff on your roof, Steve. You really should clean that off of there. :lol:

Nice rooftop decorations, Steve. You could hang colored lights on them for the holidays! :D

Very high-tech looking antenna array, IMO.

I've got one AT9 up on the roof now.

I'm not one of those people that's afraid it will ruin my roof. I've never had any problems. I like having it up there out of the way and clear of the trees.

I install my own dishes. I take always take down the old one when I put up a new one.

Has been just one at each residence since I had a BUD in Indiana 10 years ago.

Now, I currently have 4 in the garage: 1 phase II (2 lnb), 1 phase 3, 1 slimline, and 1 sidecar. :)

Cheers,
Tom

Do you have a Slingbox to get it's programming back home?
(I'm just waiting to find a 13-meter I can tap in to :D .)
