Roof Needs To Ne Replace But Satellite Dish

We had a hail storm april 2017.

Roof needs to ne replace but satellite dish.

I noticed after i bought the home there is a satellite dish on the roof. If you re in the northern hemisphere the dish needs to point south to receive a signal. Installed the dish on the brick side of my home instead of the roof. It s probably directtv and i was wondering what i can do with this.

The pole gives the dish more height without it needing to be on the roof. This thread is archived. The satellite that your dish connects with is in a geosynchronous orbit moving the same as the earth somewhere above the equator. After the roof is installed the most common practice is re installing the dish in the same holes.

Since they typically aren t satellite experts most roofing contractors can only do so much when dealing with a satellite during roof replacement. So you get a new roof and then got to wait a few years till its old again to be able to mount a dish on it.

Of course you do not need an old dish to install a new hd antenna. What does a satellite dish need to work. A good contractorwill gently remove a satellite and its mounting bracket from the roof so that they won t be damaged. Don t forget to buy the dish tech lunch.

But remember that hdtv antennas work best when attached to a roof and there are no obstructions. Seriously i hear this every day from people who get new roofs and i don t get it. Allstate replaced the entire roof. What the dish is not good enough to go on your new roof.
