Don't forget, the crew management might be doing a side business on such dishes, they dismantle regularly. In addition, to bring them down safely, one would need suitable equipment like a crane and some experience, and it can hardly be done alone. It costs time and money above all, and why would they do it for you without motivation?

I passed by a house around Central KY and there is a old Oval Primestar dish minus the arm. I'm thinking maybe offering him $10... think it's worth it? Its about the size of the older DirecPC dish. It has been sitting on a pole for sometime.

Well, I guess I'm lucky because I've removed 2 Prodelins in the past year. The most recent take down a few weeks ago was planned for over a year. That dish was put out of service and the owners wanted it off the roof.
