Thanks, I'll remember that. I started shopping around when it appeared that Dish wasn't going to get OLN back but then they brought it back in the nick of time.

I may still go look at rates. I hate the channel packaging. We have to pay for a bagillion channels when we use about 20. OLN, Cartoon, SciFi, etc., gotta have those.

Dish didn't work for almost a year after the installation. They replaced everything but the dish itself. They sent out a supervisor to look at everything. Still had problems. Bubba finally got up on the roof himself and pointed the dish. Voila. Amazing how actually applying the rules of azimuth, altitude and magnetic north makes a difference. Buncha of idiots that can't use a basic compass.

Of course, I was petrified the entire time because our roof has a steep pitch and I hate having loved ones up there.

Yeah - I know what you mean - the hubby installed our dish. We had our Talkabouts out and he was up on the roof (he's afraid of heights too) and I was down watching for the
signal ...nothing....nothing...hailstorm!!!....nothing... then there it was!- so I started shouting stop! stop! into the radio. Poor guy - he's been loosening the dish to turn it some when it slipped down and he had to catch it and that was the exact right point to get a good signal. So there he is up on the roof in the hail, hanging on to the dish so that it doesn't move and trying to figure out how he's going to tighten it down without messing it up and answer me as I'm down there telling him to stop its perfect.

Just hold it there, dear. That's fine! Don't mind the hail. It's not putting dents in the cars yet so it's tiny.
