Good evening,
Was wondering if people could throw some suggestions my way about a mounting problem that I seem to have with regard to the new 5lnb dish. My current 3lnb is mounted on an extender arm to the top of my chimney. When the installers came out they eyeballed it from the ground and said "nope, dish is too big and it won't mount that way." They were already 5 hours late and were in a hurry. They suggested throwing it up on my brand new roof as being the "only" other place it would work. Does this seem logical and, short of getting comcast as they suggested, is there someway to keep my current mount and put the new dish on that? Chimney bands?? They did have in their truck a stink pipe mount but they didn't want to use that because of the wind.
Is there any solution here or should I give up hope? In my previous two installs of dishes..the one lnb and three lnb it always seems that the subcontractor finds some excuse for not wanting to do the job and its much complaining and supervisors having to come out and Directv themselves coming out. Am recovering from surgery and not in the fighting mood at the moment, especially if its a lost cause.
Thanks
Tom
