So I recently moved to the outskirts of Greensboro and I put in a move request, and I was notified by the installer I did not get a good enough signal to continue my service. Now I have to go back to shitty time warner, fml.

how do you not have good enough signal? it comes from a satellite in space, unless there is a tree or something in the way it should not matter, unless you are so remote that they think it will cost more to install then your subscription is worth to them.

pretty much everyone that I know that uses Satellite uses it because they don't get cable because they are too far out for cable.

Where I live now I have many trees, very close to my house. All I know is that the installer said there wasn't a 'strong' enough signal. Unless he didn't know what he was talking about................

I have DirecTV, but there's no way I would cut down trees to get a better signal. The first guy they sent out mentioned that this beatiful oak I have in my front yard needed to go. We're talking about a 150 ft, 100 year old tree. I politely informed him that wasn't an option.

Unless your yard is completely draped in trees, they can put it away from the house in an area with a small opening and make a small trech back to the house.

The dish needs to point south west, it is 238* up here in VaBeach and surrounding areas. The actual degrees may vary slightly, but it will still be SW. As long as you can find a clear shot in that direction you should get good signal. If you can get a tree company to top a few choice trees near you, that will probably be the best solution. Or, get yourself a chainsaw, some climbing spikes and a 12pack for the most cost-effective method...

If you can find the clear shot away from the house, save yourself some money and put the pole out there yourself. Trench back to the house, use RG6 quad-shield, you should only need 1 run with the new SWM modules, or go old school and run 4 lines. The cables do not need to be buried deep, just not 'susceptible to damage', if you want to put PVC in the trench that'll make things easier...

They do have the tools to check signal before installation, and are advised to not do the installation if the can not get a good enough signal. Especially with the newer dishes that are catching signal from 5 satellites, mediocre is not good enough, nahmean? I would absolutely get a 2nd opinion, especially if thats what you want. I believe the Verizon FiOS can get you dishless DirecTV. They used to, but dont know if that or the FiOS is available to you...

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him

      That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.

      With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
