My first install was also tough, I feel your pain!
I was tryting to get Sky Angel a few years ago.
I totally failed because of TREES. I found it on a ladder across the street from my house.
I was able to get it a few years (!) later when they took the trees down to put some houses in behind me.
I feel your pain! I'm glad things are starting to work for you now.
These guys know their stuff and will get you going if you persist and don't give up.
(I'm wrestling with getting good sat reception after installing my SG2100 motor...)
Pray for no rain here tonight.
