Sadly, I've had a pro installer out to my house who used a sighting scope to prove that there is only one spot on the property that gets a signal, and that's right up against the sidewalk and hard against the left hand property line. Our neighborhood has a pretty stringent covenant about what you can and cannot put in your yard. While I'm aware that by law they can't prevent me from putting up a dish, I'd rather maintain a happy relationship with my neighbors. I've pondered just surrounding it with bushes on three sides, that would definitely shield it, as the sidewalk is along the north side of the property. Though, this is Ohio, I'd need to find a type of bush that stays fairly dense in the winter. _______________ Chris Thompson
