We've had decent luck here as well, but it's only been two or three times.
I have had the home owner "line up" the antenna more than once though, since I
obviously had it pointing the wrong way...
Routerboard inside a Rootenna. Good luck lining that up without the GUI.

roofers around here, for whatever reason are masters at blind pointing our
gear. I guess its all the corn guns and bibles that bring us the good luck.

It seems like using Roofing nails for Jlegs and tripods are what's taught
at roofing school.
From a textbook I'm sure roofers use:
"Has the antenna fallen off the roof before your truck leaves the property?
If not, then it was installed properly. If it falls off after this point,
then it is shoddy equipment.
The Sky is Big and all antennas get signal from the sky, therefore any
antenna can be installed in any orientation, as long as it can mostly see the
sky. If it does not work, then it is shoddy equipment"

Why do customers say things like "if your guy is going to mount anything

feel fine having roofers take down our equipment and cables and remount them
without telling us? And then act like we're saying stupid stuff when we ask if
they called us to come out and re-aim the dish afterward, saying there was no
need, my computer worked afterward.
You'd think roofers were highly trained in sophisticated technology,
while we Internet guys are dolts.
Hell, I've seen roofers re-attach a J-pipe to the new roof with roofing
nails.
