Ever wonder why the morons at DirecTV and Dish network insist on putting your dish on the roof or the side of your house?

The satellites are 22,500 miles away, putting them 15 feet higher up won't help reception and it makes them nearly inacessible when trying to get ice and snow off them.

I installed my own dish and its 1 foot off the ground, easy to get to and easy to tune/fix if need be.

How about this: wear a bluetooth earpiece, and have someone inside read the screen while you adjust it, and tell you over the cell-phone when it's strongest?

That sounds like the best way of all.

[SovereignStatesman]

This is going to be important.
