Used it for a few years when we had a Bell satellite receiver. Most of our campgrounds are in the trees other than down south. So the tripod works much better for these conditions. And usually have it up and running in 10 minutes or less.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-67701595821117953972014-05-15T13:42:31.662-04:002014-05-15T13:42:31.662-04:00I wouldn't think so.I wouldn't think so.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-12191923515735573192014-05-15T13:42:03.028-04:002014-05-15T13:42:03.028-04:00Being level is the whole secret.Being level is the whole secret.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-82448030757478192642014-05-15T09:52:46.085-04:002014-05-15T09:52:46.085-04:00That is pretty basic, starting with a perfectly le...That is pretty basic, starting with a perfectly level tripod.

Some places were a snap and others seemed next to impossible. We stopped doing that and got the one on the roof. It's much easier than before. We just push that little button and 99% of the time it works! You'll have several months to enjoy that nice weather. Looks like you're getting used to it already.<br />Wanderin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/18099094689836499939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-77774423995689048312014-05-15T08:54:07.298-04:002014-05-15T08:54:07.298-04:00Geese on a rubber roof...probably not a good thing...Geese on a rubber roof...probably not a good thing!<br />Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-79503371813644707042014-05-15T06:29:10.853-04:002014-05-15T06:29:10.853-04:00Very easy process.

Install dish and set elevation and skew according to the settings available on dishpointer.com for your location and satellite, for us scroll down to Starchoice. for the two satellites. Then just aim the dish to the compass setting moving slowly until you get a strong signal.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-73901644056212150282014-05-15T06:17:35.173-04:002014-05-15T06:17:35.173-04:00They have been coming here for years a really nice...They have been coming here for years a really nice couple.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-59020011390244856412014-05-15T06:15:49.631-04:002014-05-15T06:15:49.631-04:00They just taste like pizza with tomato sauce, ital...They just taste like pizza with tomato sauce, italian seasoning, onion, garlic, peppers cheese, really quite tasty.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-12149830630073599072014-05-15T01:38:41.304-04:002014-05-15T01:38:41.304-04:00Yup, those geese are loco, still making a racket a...Yup, those geese are loco, still making a racket at 11PM here.<br /><br />Just wondering if the satellite problems and your solutions might be of interest to your readers?Contessa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482663305121297253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-64430464377077242152014-05-15T00:22:30.741-04:002014-05-15T00:22:30.741-04:00I have never heard of pizza brats either!
