Movies and TV Paging the resident CP Satellite TV Install Expert - Page 2

I think Mr. Skip Towne is the resident Satellite TV installer guru….

I’m moving from a house to an apartment; I’ll be on the ground floor of an apartment building that faces approximately NE, but I think Direct TV needs a SW Line of Sight? The apartment requires a free-standing dish support thing (which is fine).

The apartment is Uverse ready, as well as Time Warner (pass), and DTV ready. I don’t want to leave DTV if I don’t have to. The lady on the phone said they ‘very rarely cannot achieve Line of Sight’. Is this true? I’m just wondering how LOS is achieved from a ground floor on the opposite side of a 3 story building.

I really want to keep DTV (and I’m sure BuckinKaeding does as well

).

My main worry was moving, and not being able to establish a LOS – then be hit with an early termination charge etc.

I called DTV and they said if they can’t get a signal etc, the work order will be closed and I could call and cancel the account with no fees.

So…I won’t k now if I’m keeping DTV (my preference) until Oct 31.

BK - I’ll PM you to see how we want to work this if a signal can’t be established etc

Get an apartment on the other side of the bldg. Or put the dish over there and trench around to the north side. Or call and use the mover program. They will seend a guy out to try to get you line of sight. If they can''t they will let you out of your commit.
