They're actually really great! Great idea on Directv's part no monopoles required! However depending in the roofs pitch it could turn nasty if an installer doesn't realize what they're doing. I would have 1 if I was a fan of roof mounts. Me personally, throw a pole in the ground with 100lbs of concrete and be done
Probably the snow in a normal winter would bury the dish! We have had virtually no snow this year. Last year I had to shovel 30" of snow from my roof!
Sorry, thats not what I was getting at, at all...
I was referring to getting up into the mountians.
I recently installed on on a job in Boise. I really like this mount. We don't get a lot of snow in Boise and I mounted with the dish on the roof pointed away from the roof. That is clear as mud huh? Anyway I will be doing more. Just wish there was a leveling system like with the regular slimline masts. Other than that this mount made the install look much nicer.
These have been out for quite some time. I know I had few about 5 months ago then we did not see them again. Now they are becoming more available.
They basically have to be on a low pitch roof, but makes it nice not having to put 10 lags in the roof. Don't have to deal with the mono poles, and are much more solid when installed correctly.

If you are talking about the built in bubble level, why do you use it at all? A post level is much more accurate, although not as convenient.
That makes no sense. There is no such thing as a perfectly flat anything, much less a roof. Are you saying there is no way to adjust the mast for plumb?
I understand what you guys are saying about the mast, but it makes no sense. If you can't plumb the mast properly, how can you adjust the dish without having to change the skew and elevation from the normal settings?
