Reaiming My Dish Network Satellite On My Roof

The satellite bill isn t the only bill of theirs my brother and i are splitting.

Reaiming my dish network satellite on my roof. Many people believe it is the responsibility of the satellite service provider to remove the equipment since they are the ones who installed it but this is not the case. The way i looked at it 49 for them to roll a truck and spend the time aiming it was cheap. Evidently it isn t just directv charging for that. Do i need to use 2 separate antennas for each coaxial or just put a splitter on the antenna and hook the dual coaxial.

One of the best ways to set up a dish is by anchoring a metal pole in the ground with concrete then mounting the dish on top of it. Over time however weather related expansion and shrinking of roof materials creates leaky gaps where the dish has been screwed into the shingles. The pole gives the dish more height without it needing to be on the roof. Go to your dish and make sure that the elevation is set properly skew can be checked too but is harder to bash.

Roof mounted satellite dishes seldom leak right away. To prevent this from happening add a rubber sheet beneath the satellite foot plate to block leaks and protect the shingles from cosmetic. When the roofers arrived they needed to remove the dish in order to put on the new roof. Satellite dish installers almost automatically go for the roof to guarantee the satellite isn t obstructed.

Prior to getting the new roof the customer had their dish network or directv dish installed on their roof. Select dish500 and either 110 or 119 and it will tell you where your dish needs to point. Sign into your mydish account or create a new one. In that case my brother had the roofers mount it back to protect the roof warranty.

After the roof is installed the most common practice is re installing the dish in the same holes. I am wanting to convert my old dish network satellite to hd ota antenna. I know how to mount an hd ota antenna on the mast.
