the dish does not need to be placed on your roof if you can get
a signal to the antenna. The placement of the antenna is
normally decided on the buildings and trees around your home.
Depending on the SAT you will be aiming most likely at the
south eastern sky.
You will need a phone line connected when you set it up but
this can be disconnected after initial installation. It may need
to be connected for billing of pay per view services to update.
I had Direct TV when it first came out and mounted the dish
to a board and took it with me and I could find a signal of
90 percent or greater in a few seconds. You will see large
RVs with antennas on the roofs when they are parked and that
is what they are using. You can travel all over the damn country
and take it with you as long as you have a receiver and an antenna.
Some people actually make their billing address far outside of
their local city so that they can watch the local blacked out
sporting events but that is another story..
The access to channels and sporting events is regulated by
the zip code that you set up for your account.
Digital signals over cable had never really came through like
they do on sat unless you live in an upgraded area and even
those have problems with contracts and agreements with the
providers.
The only negative that I found with Sat TV was when some
heavy and I mean THICK clouds come overheard during a
severe thunderstorm you may lose your signal but normally
the cable in my area would go out just as often.
You have to have a clear line of site to the satellite. If they tune
it in properly then this problem happens very little.
The Local weather channel on cable will turn into the
Nationwide weather channel when you go to SAT.
If you have High Speed Internet with your cable company
they will most likely screw you to just get that by itself
without the cable.
