Without a doubt, put it on a pole next to your house. Also, have them agree to no installation charges. In my opinion, you should threaten to cancel the install if they won't agree to no charges for installation.

After reading a few of the lightening threads, I am wondering if we would be better off with the dish on a post in the yard (extra fee, as I recall) as opposed to being installed on the roof.

Is there any advantage? (lightening wise)

My feeling has been that it would just be an obstacle to avoid in the yard. But curious regarding the lightening issue.

We did get the SECO whole house surge protector. That seemed like a no brainer to us. Cheaper than replacing the new TV, computers and appliances.

Thanks for your input!
