Re: dish or dtv retail store info


Friend,
Here is something to be aware of as you get into sat installs in new england.
As you investigate how to align the dish you will find a specification for ELVATION. As you move north the elevation angle becomes lower. If you were directly below the satellite the elevation would be around 90 degrees and if you were floating above the north pole the elevation would be around zero. Here in Maryland (south of PA, NY etc ) the elevation to the DTV satellites is around 30 to 40 degrees depending on the dish used. I get line of sight (LOS) most of the time. Trees, buildings hills, occassionally block the LOS and the job you just drove 90 miles to do is undoable. So is the pay for the 90
miles home.(nono) Get into sat up there slowly and figure your costs. Get local advice. Besides, I been to Maine once and the place is too pretty for watchin TV. Ski Bro!

Good Luck
Joe
