Re: satelite dish
I've seen wind hard enough to blow mine over ... Hurricane Rita!
I just wish I was smart enough to think of this rig first. Chelse, you just missed my bragging post about this rig two years ago. Don't blame me! :laugh:
The advantage to the tripod mount is that it can fold and take up less space. I built my rig with glue, but dimensioned it so it fit right in one corner of the slideout bay. I could have left a joint or two unglued, so it could be broken down to fit anywhere. It's just less trouble this way. Things fit around it in the bay.
DL, we just moved the house receiver (replaced it in the house with a DVR type) out to the MH. It's 5 or 8 dollars per month more for the extra receiver. No phone line is REQUIRED unless you purchase something like pay-per-view, but then you can just call them. I've been nagged on my home receiver about hooking up to the phone line, but never have on my MH receiver.
