We installed Dish TV about a month ago, no antenna, no utility pole
wire, dish is only 14" diameter, works great. Last week we installed
Elon Musk's Space Link for internet, absolutely fantastic, speed is
incredible, 160 Mega Bytes per second. That dish is also 14"
diameter, and heats itself to melt off snow and ice. That dish is
also motorized to self-seek the best satillite.
As soon as the ground thaws I'll be able to set it on a steel pole
cemented in the ground, now it's on a tripod on the deck.
