So the installer guy comes today (after we got bumped up in installation) and now he is saying that he doesn't know if I can get HD (trees blocking sat 129). We have a 2 story house with a tall roof line, and the trees are big, but they are in the back yard and we have a walk-out lot that slopes down away from the house. I would guess that the trees would need to be about 50 feet tall to be the same height as the top of our roof. I don't know how high up the dish needs to point, but I am sure that it isn't straight at the horizon. He wants to put the dish on to a tripod mounted to our roof, but my wife things that it will look stupid. He couldn't go up and check it out because there is snow and ice on that part of the roof. We are going to be "rescheduled" however, if he is waiting for that to melt, it could be a while. He said that Dish will still honor the $100 rebate deal that I am supposed to get, but we'll see about that I guess.
Stupid trees!
