Difficult Instal Question

[gold23]

I moved into my home several years back. Large backyard with a slight grade up (and to the west/southwest), with a few trees causing issues getting a signal off the roof. I know there are areas of the garage or the back yard where I can run the wires and grab a very good signal, but I chose not to do it (wife) at the time. Now? I can't stand paying the $ every month for terrible cable service, and need to go back to Directv.

Anyway....my question is this. It is certainly not a standard install- I'll need some experience and expertise to install my system. Any suggestions on how to find the right fit for the job?

Thanks.

look in the yellow pages under Satellite/Antenna Services and have some come out and quote you. Also set an appointment for a D* installer to come out, he just may surprise you on what you need done.

You didn't mention your location either; difficult installs can become almost impossible in the harsh winter months.

yea true.. what do you consider difficult? How far is the dish location from the entry point/meter box? How do you know you have los? has it been sighted by a tech before or are you assuming a spot would work? How far away is the furthest receiver from the entry point/meter box/access panel?

I don't do installs, but i'm sure many would hate to dig a trench to run wire, when there is a foot of snow on the ground...
