Tree in the way?
I have a tree that I think may be affecting my signal, but I'm not sure. Today my signal strength is all over the place, ranging from the low 60s to the high 90s, and I have clear, blue skies, as do...
Hi Gabe,

It was about two hours total.
I had gotten a length of rope earlier in the day and tied that to the tree and the other end to our lawn tractor, pulling it taut, as I wanted to make sure it came down in the direction I wanted. Unfortunately, there was a good breeze at this point, and when I cut it, sure enough, it came down in the direction of my dish! LOL. Had it been ten feet taller it would have taken out the dish, and hit the house. The wind was just too much to overcome. In reality, had I not tied the rope to it it likely would have fallen in a place that would have been fine. Oh well, lesson learned.
That sounds like the plot for a comedy, for one, and for two, you were lucky the whole thing didn't come down on your house and your dish!
