Disagree. It looked like shit on the temporary pole and I would've been pissed had they tried to leave it like that. Now, with a mounted pole, we were able to put nice landscaping rocks and such down.

If ya'll want satellite so bad, get your happy asses out there and hold the dish yourself.

Or I could just let Dish do it, which is exactly what happened.

after having a few go arounds with Dish net muself I have left it at if anyone wants to see the bullshit work their installers do I will use my house as an example. we don't get along at all. their guy shows up with no ladder, no tools and no fucking brains. asks if he can use mine. Nope I am not being paid to do an install. I will rent them to you.
I told him if he wasn't prepared for the job to go home. no no I'll get it. he rigged the shit to the side of my house and drilled big holes right through the siding.
called dish to have it remounted and crap repaired. oh you didn't call soon enough, you'll have to pay $129 for another install. Gee I figured I'd be nice and wait until the weather warmed up before calling. so for three years I've had their cables strewn across my living room from the middle of a wall. I did move the dish though because the idiot didn't know how to aim it plus because he tried to mount it without tools it damn near fell off. I mounted it on a 4X4 post that I concreted in so it doesn't move around much. On the roof would have been nice but not enough cable to get up there.

I have 2 dishes mounted on my house. 1 for HD local channels and 1 for the rest of the channels and they point in different directions. Neither is bolted to the roof though, they are mounted to the siding.

We also have two dishes BUT with DirecTV I didn't have any of the issues that you guys have had. Maybe I was just lucky.

Several tall trees was an issue for us as well. We had a dish on the top of our house and it worked great for SD but when we decided to upgrade to HD they couldn't get a good signal from that dish.

They put an HD dish on a pole in my backyard...didn't want a 2nd dish but there was no way around it if I wanted satellite with HD.
