Yeah, the directions/signals are sometimes painful to get. There is a large home on side of our home from where the signals are supposed to come. We put the dish on our neighbors roof, but damn their kids broke one of its rods midplacing the lnb, now no signals are coming. Now we moved it back to our roof, we'll have to pay another 2000 for setup again, but need to increase its height. Since its a huge 8ft dish, so can't put it on Water tank.
