Hi Everyone,

I am moving to a new apartment and planning to keep my DTV. Installer will come next week and my only option is to use some kind of non penetrating mount on the balcony, since the management office doesn't want me to mess with the railing on the balcony, neither making holes, etc. I am in the second floor of a three stories building.

I would need Satellites 101, 110 and 119. Attached is a picture from dishpointer showing the 3LNB on top and then the 3 separate LOS for each satellite. So, here I need the help of you guys, who have much more experience doing this than me. Do you think that I will be able to get signal if the dish is mounted at that location from the balcony, pointing parallel to the building...? Probably, I can push the dish a bit out of the balcony, trying to get some more LOS, but it would depend on how sensitive the management office is. Anyone willing to give me his/her opinion on this issue...?
Thanks for reading...

I saw somewhere a balcony mount that just clamps to the railing.
I posted in your thread on the other forum.

It looks like you may have a LOS problem to 101 unless you can get the dish higher.

Why aren't you thinking about the 99 and 103 HD sats?

101, 110 and 119 are the sats that I was using at my old apartment. I guess because of the package that I chose.
