Chris,
My road is a mile long and most of it is packed snow right now. Anyone not familiar with the road would have to have a high clearance 4wd. My gut tells me that if Thompson Satellite sends a tech, they will blow it and send someone in a van of some type and they won't be able to get in on the road much less to my house. And if they do send a 4wd, then there's the fact that they will have to drive across my field to get to the install but my field is covered with about 6" of snow and my guess is they'd get stuck in the field and have to call a tow truck to get out.
To add to the above, we are now under a storm warning with as much as a foot of snow falling between Thursday evening and into late Friday. 4-5" of snow, on top of what we already have, will effectively close the last 1/4 mile of road and I will be walking in until late Feb or early March.
It's the wrong time of year for a service call at my location.
Best, Curtis
