Plagued With Problems -- Just Ordered Viasat To Complement Hughesnet (Am I Nuts?)
Southernsierra, I took a look into your account to see how the tech visit went (you could say I was a bit eager to see how everything went). Looks like they got out there and moved the dish onto a pole mount for you and quite a few other things taken care of!
This makes me really happy!
Let me know how everything's running.

When they moved the satellite to its new location, did they use concrete to set the pole? Do you know if they used a "key" in the pole to keep it from turning in the concrete?
It shouldn't be moving like that. A properly installed satellite dish shouldn't move for years, lest there is a very strong wind storm or flood, and I highly doubt you're having floods at 7000ft. If you are, OTOH, you've got other problems. :p
We get some pretty nasty wind storms here once in a while, with winds of 60+MPH. My original installation, with a huge fiberglass dish, lasted from Dec 2004 to Feb 2016, and the new Gen4/5 dish was installed on the same pole, still in the same place. It just doesn't move.
