I guess I understand their point, but it seems to me that if I give them my address, they should be able to tell me if a signal is available.
Instead, they pressure for a "signed" contract, before they will come to check it out. They promise to give the money back if they can't get a signal.. 
With Geo Maps so readily avaiable, seems they should be able to tell you Yes or No without a signed and paid contract.  |
The issue is trees...they have no way of knowing if you have a spot on your property that has a clear line-of-sight to the satellite(s) (you may need to "see" more than one satellite to get the channels you want).
We had Dish for a while a few years ago. We would never do it again unless we lived somewhere flat with no trees. And little precip. And if you do get it and the installer puts a screw in one of the wires, insist that they replace that wire and not just splice it.
