Dallas--problem getting 148

Dish came out today to install my 2nd dish to get extra locals now available in Dallas. He said could not because no line of sight to 148. Said big tree in neighbor's yard two doors down blocked line of sight to 148. He offered to install but said it had to look right though the middle of big tree and would not work. He said this was the third one today that he could not install. He said I could get 61.5 but the extra locals are not on it. He said 148 was West coast and require a real low look form Dallas to get it.

He got Dish on the phone to advise them. They offered me a second opinion, but I did not ask for it.

Does this seem normal?

Not normal, but possible. It would seem though, that if you aren't surrounded by trees, the installer could find a different location to mount the second dish. If they are installing SW21 switches, he could run the coax to your original dish, install the SW21 at the original dish and have you up and running. You probably know where to look, do you see an opening at any other point on your house?
