Just came up with a new problem this spring, I got a tree in the way of my dish. The tree blocks G1, I'm OK above G1, receive excellent singles
Just happened since the leaves came on the tree. Guess I will have to cut it down.
Is it possible to receive the program guide on another satellite other than G1 with a 922????????
People with 4DTVs probably know better, but I thought the guides were on more than one sat, but that it was the channel maps that were only on G1. Perhaps I got that backward.
But back to the tree, is it the top of the tree that's blocking you, or just certain branches? If it's lower on the tree, and removing certain branches would give you a view, I've had pretty good success with those rope saws, that you throw over a branch, and cut the branch by pulling on the rope. The saws only come with enough rope to reach a branch 20 or so feet up, but I've just added rope, and I've been able to get up at least to 40', and higher. I've cut branches with at least 8 inch diameters, however with a big branch, it takes a bit of practice, and you have to be prepared to get out of the way, because they come down fast when they let go. I've tried cutting from the side, so that I wasn't underneath, but that doesn't work well, as the chain will usually jam, and then you are REALLY stuck.
But I've cleared all sorts of holes through the trees to receive selective sats. I usually set up a fishing rod on a pole mount, and use a sling shot to throw a line over the branch, then pull up the rope with the fishing line. Like I said, it takes a bit of practice, so I'd practice on low branches that you can reach, in case the saw binds when the branch starts to bend.
