SHAMELESS WILDBLUE
Conduit on an install serves many useful purposes. It protects
the cable in the ground from weather, and the weekend warrior
landscaper, except for the landscaper who uses a WEED
WHACKER near the installation provided by this installer. You
see, the improper conduit used by this satellite pro only protects
the first 1 1/2" of cable coming from the ground!

If you just cant do it right and either find or make a proper
pole adapter, you can just take your wild blue dish and ram it
down onto a pole that is almost 1/2" larger than the mount
was designed for. This genius was probably the one in
kindergarten who did indeed manage to place the square peg
into the round hole!

Hey guys, there are at least 10 better places to mount a
ground block except on a pole! But that's OK because this
ground block wont work because someone FORGOT TO RUN
THE GROUND WIRES to it.

You see the stays attached to the roof? I ask you, what is the
purpose of the stays in this position, they provide absolutely NO
additional holding power against wind, and in this case serves only
to provide for a leaky roof....good grief.

I couldn't resist this one. Look carefully, look close, look at the
nuts that are holding the reflector in place.... They are installed
UP SIDE DOWN. Talk about your average NUT JOB...Sorry, I just
couldn't resist.

Hey, is it GROUNDED? This "Certified" installer drove this
ground rod, but he used #6 wire to go to the dish, what an
expensive way to screw up a ground!

This is a prime example of why I will not install an antenna on the
fascia board of a home. The antenna is not stable, and the stays
that are designed to keep the mount stable are absolutely useless
in the way that they are installed in this picture.

I have several issues with this installation, however the wrapping
around the wires is not one of them. The wrapping, while I agree is
tacky was installed by the customer to protect the wires from
"wildlife." What I have issues with is the fact that the antenna is
only 2.5' off of the ground, and that the stays are not properly
attached into the concrete, making the mount unstable. There is a
reason that Wild Blue requires the antenna to be at least 5'6" off
the ground (transmitter) it is to protect the antenna and the people
around it. This is an ugly install, and no ground either.

Again, there is a reason some surfaces should never have a dish
antenna mounted to them, and vinyl siding is one of those
surfaces. Well, it has finally been done, and I had the pleasure of
getting to re-install this system for this customer in Pennsylvania.
THE INSTALLER MOUNTED A DISH ANTENNA TO VINYL
SIDING WITH NO WOOD BACKING, just screwing multiple lag
bolts into vinyl hoping they would work! Well, sorry to whoever
installed it, it failed within a week. Installs like this are what keeps
me in business. I did install a pole here when it was all said and
done.
