To be more specific, they claim it is too high and they can’t do it from the roof because of OSHA blah, blah, blah.
They said I could hire a sub contrctor to hang it.
I am not going to pay someone to do something that simple.

Thats why you should get Dish Network. Call Intertech 625-8555 and order Dish. We’ll install houses that a lot of DTV guys won’t. DTV guys only carry 28 foot ladders. Every one of our trucks have 32 footers and special arrangements can be made if a larger ladder (up to 40 foot) or hook ladder is needed.
And that OSHA thing is bullshit.

She called direct tv because of the phone/tv/internet deal of $99.
I talked to her at lunch time and asked if they left the dish.
She said yes.
I said did they leave anything else?
She said ya, a big stink in the bathroom.
Nice.
I hope it was not someone on here stinkin up my house.:squint::eyebrow:

LOL! I’ve come close a couple times, but usually make a “parts run” if the problem arises. Parts run to Tops or McDonald’s that is!!

I am leaving work in a bit and I obviously don’t have internet at home yet.
Real quick, does anyone know the angle of the dish setting in WNY?
(Just in case he didn’t leave any instructions)
