We started out doing that with satellite installers as well. We just ran them all out of their "garbage piles" of masts in our area. DISH has implemented a new thing where they don't include the mast unless you request it. Then you end up paying more for the system WITH a mast. We still have a few

Again, Patrick, it's a troubleshooting too.  If we have poor link quality but good signal, that's usually interference.  If we have poor signal but good quality that can mean a bad antenna, tree in the path, multipath etc.   Both are important. Marlon(509) 982-2181
