    Installing DirecTV in place of Dish

    Hi, thanks in advance for the help. We are moving to a new place that has Dish "stapled" to the edge of the roof. Rental agency gave the permission to continue to use the DirecTV, but only if we can use existing poles (in this case Dish Network 500) to install, we can't drill anything else...
