I've been trying to figure out exactly what i need to have los too before going thru the ordering process so I dont waste time. I just moved to an older house and had DISH come out the next day. He found 1 spot on my roof that barely cleared the one tall tree south of me but couldn't say it would be good for 2 years. We decided to cancel that install. Now i'm going to update the home wiring with R6 cable then try Directv or local cable if need be. Using my smart phone to line of sight sattelites which ones do I look for to get Directv HD programming?
