Our children bought us a satellite dish for Christmas this year. We are used to having only one channel on TV - it is often snowy and goes off the air if it rains or snows too much.  This is really going to increase our entertainment/relaxation time in the evenings. But first we had to install it.  It came complete with an instruction book - not a booklet. That should have been our first clue on the complexity of it.  Ignorance is bliss.  The first night Dave tried to set it up but soon discovered he had to have a compass.  Off he went to his friend’s house and returned with the compass - three hours later.  The next day he found the compass point,, the skew, the elevation and all other points but now he needed more precise measurements - he needed a level!! He hunted the entire house and yard and finally found it. He checked the skew measurements - then the BV and calculated the "correct" elevation adjustments, then the compass reading and lo and behold it turned green - as I yelled "we got it" the dogs started howling in joy right along with me - what a cacophony of joyous sound!! We did it!!!  There is a 24 hour telephone number to set up the programming so at 10 pm last night Dave called the number and was told "we have an emergency situation at our premises -  we are closed - please call back later"  What kind of emergency did they have? Nothing on the news on our sole TV Channel. So much for a 24 hour  customer service.  This morning; Day 3 of installing the satellite dish we finally contacted customer service - we are hooked up and we have mega channels to watch - but no time to watch it - chores have to be done first.  This evening will be the test of multiple channels. So far we know that the picture is crystal clear, the computer doesn’t intefere with the quality of the picture and there is lots of choices. And Dave installed it by himself!! How cool is that! Thank you boys for the new toy.
