DirecTV in an Apartment?
Sc00ter asks: "I live in an apartment and I'm seeking advice on how to mount a DirecTV dish without causing damage to the building. I don't have a balcony to put it on, only windows. There are some people that have worked around this by using other types of antennas, but the cost of such a device is too high. I have also seen some window mount type antennas but I don't think I should trust these in the wind. I was hoping somebody out there had been in a similar situation and had a tip or two."
What i would do is do the same thig that we did in our building, asking everyone if they want to have a dish ( they ll probably say yes ), then go see the guy in charge of the community stuff, tell him than everyone would like to have a dish, and suggest a proffessional installation for everyone. Our community have 400 flats , they paied eatch one 100, this make a total of 40 000 , now we have 4 proffesionnals dishs installed on the top of the highest building by proffessionals with switches and so, and now everyone have a satellite plug in his house. Notice than it was quite fast to obtain this, well everything is relative , but it took like 4 months. (escuse me for typos, grammary and stuff, french guy there)
