Well the apt i'm movint to is a "historic landmark" so they arent allowed to place a dish on it.
and the cable service is not free either... |
How about on a tripod? I always wanted to try that. Guess it would take up some space though. |
Nope, the apartment doesnt have a porch on an outer wall, so there's nowhere to put the tripod |
I was thinking just have it setup by a window looking out in a spare room. Not mounted to anything just free standing like a camera tripod but heaver duty.

I've thought about that but i'm not sure that the signal will be strong enough thru the glass and i dint think i want a 5 lnb dish sitting on a tripod in my new living room 
My thought is, i'm only here for 6-12 months so comcast is ok.

can't you put it on the roof? I wouldn't think that would hurt the "historic" aspect. but for only 12 months I wouldn't hassle.

And of course everyone will be viewing this mis-elivered signal on a 42" display from 10 feet away without having 20/20 vision.

DN contacted me the other day about replacing my existing HD receivers for free I said ok if there is no contract and they agreed. It's interesting none of there receivers output 1080p, all are just 1080i. I just keep it for a few shows on HBO and Showtime but its way overcompressed I agree.
