What was in your line of sight? If it is tree on property you own than just trim it or cut it down if need be. Otherwise,if you have no line of sight for the Sat. then you are basically screwed as far as getting NFL Ticket.

So, find a friend who has it or find a bar that has it.

Move? Find a place that has a southern facing. I live on the norht side of my high rise so I cannot get it either. Or get a girldfriend to get it (I pay my for sunday ticket on my GF's bill) and go watch it at her house.

Take a chain saw to that tree

I had this same problem. Our back yard is wooded, so we could not get a good view of the satellite.

What we were able to do however was, instead of putting the dish on the house, we mounted it on a tree in the yard, and ran the cable inside (digging a trench to bury the cable).

That covered the Primary satellite. The secondary satellite actually delivers the local channels, and I could not get that at all. So I had to call the cable company to give us basic cable.

I wish i could do that but it is like 4 really big trees and only 1 of them is on my property...im pretty ticket off!!! i know NFL sunday tix is only on direct tv...is there anyother way to get NFL games..on the net maybe?

I'm scheduled to get the whole sha-bang Monday and i'm a bit worried that i will be denied too. There are a couple of big trees where the sat needs to point; Is it possible to have a couple trees in the way or will i too be SOL?

Thanks in advance

 

[chrisdavault]

SOL they need line of sight and if it is blocking the line your out of luck!

 

[chrisdavault]

man i wish it was on cable

 

[BigD]

or even pay-per-view for chrissies sake.

 

[chrisdavault]

does anyone know about streamTVnow.tv?

Get a good muffler for the chain saw......cut'em down in the middle of the night. Then just say "I have no idea what happened"

IF there is space in between you may get lucky and get a signal, maybe not as strong as normal but still a signal.

My wife's grandfather has his like that. There is just enough room between two trees that he gets a signal.

However he does lose the signal during heavy storms.

yeah then they fall on my house and my neighbors house lol

Another option is to talk to your neighbor about locating a dish where you have a clear LOS. A Ku/Ka Dish is a pretty low impact (visual and otherwise) item and maybe you can get permission to place one on a pole.
