there is NO advatage to putting a satellite dish higher, it has no

my dish lives lag bolted to my deck, which makes service and snow
removal very easy.

you willn find it near impossible to aim a satellite dish on a pole
and the wind turns the dish into a wing causing movement which will
effect reception.

satellite tv dishes look at a fixed satellite at about 22,300 miles, a
few feet means nothing.

if your looking at satellite tv get a DVR digital video recorder it
will change how you look at tv forever

You can get a DVR regardless of whether you have sat, cable, or OTA,
which is what the OP apparently uses. And I agree, it;'s highly
recommended and does totally change the way you use your TV. I've had
a Tivo for a long time now and love it.
