Can anyone recommend an installer in the Baton Rouge, LA area?

[kuperman]

So I got my first FTA setup from Sadoun. It is sweet. I guess, not sure yet.
I ran all my cables through the attic, fished cable through the walls.
I even mounted the 36" dish and motor. But I get nothing. Nil on the signal. I fought with it for two days. It's probably that pesky tree line on the south part of my yard.

It's obvious that I need to relocate my dish. Problem is, before anyone laughs, I don't do heights all good.

So I'm looking for an installer that can either mount it a) better or b) on the roof, align it and configure my receiver so that I can deliver upon a promise to my wife from many years ago. All the 'hard work'/time consuming stuff is done.

Help!

Check out this link: www.dbsinstall.com on the left side, click on the FTA.

Also look at this thread and read PSB's post there: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=64098

Good luck!

I'm in the Baton Rouge area. I don't do satellite for a living but I've been around it for quite sometime. I could help you with the system if you have plenty of food and beer.

I've attached some older pictures of my setup. I've since changed over to the QPH-031 LNB, changed the orientation of the switch, and waterproofed everything.

Guys, it looks like I'm going to have to go this one alone. All attempts to find a pro to do this are coming up nil - the one guy I could actually verify that's local that can do this sort of thing won't return my calls. I'm thinking about this roof mount, but I need a mount/mast like the one in the picture. The one I have is the Universal Mount II from Sadoun, which isn't right for a slanted roof. Is there any place local I can get that? Hell, for that matter, is there anywhere local I might be able to get ANY supplies? (the local Fortec Star distributor doesn't really have anything - I went by there today; they kind of looked at me funny when I told them what I needed and said they didn't do anything larger than 31" dishes.)

I'll start trolling around for posts on various mounts and get some ideas as to what I can/should do. Thanks for your help guys.

Guess someone skipped over my post.....

Digiblur is in Baton Rouge, and I'm in New Orleans but go to Baton Rouge somewhat regularly. Between us I'm sure we could help...

Hey Digiblur is that a FEMA trailer in the 1st pic ? Ok Just Kidding, but I did see a news report of a guy who was given a massive FEMA trailer, problem is they didn't leave him the keys.

Kuperman I sympathize with you, I also got a Universal type II mount with my original Sadoun order, so I found myself ordering the supermount for about $45, it looked a bit sturdier and is holding up well, but its not too different than the mounts I've seen used for Dish or DTV maybe just a little longer and the additional support arms give you little bit more peace of mind.

I very well may take you guys up on your offers! I don't think getting the mounts up is going to be the hard part... but the aligning of the dish/motor, etc. That's what's going to end up being tricky. Probably going to take a stab at this not this coming weekend but next.
