In one of our former apartments, the tenants wanted satellite, but I
wouldn't allow them to put the dishes on the roof.

So I found an old telephone pole, dug a hole, sunk the pole and the
tenants used that to mount the dishes.

Oddly enough, other's in that neighborhood started doing the same
thing. :)

But I have seen that cement block deal on other installations - it's a
pretty nifty solution.

As long as there is a clear view to the south western sky, you can
mount them just about anywhere.

Prices keep coming down on the servo aimed TracVision systems. I
picked one up from a discount dealer for about $1700 back in June. It
was a relatively easy install and works OK as we swing at anchor or
are underway.
