Both Sat. company rep's have been to my location and announced the only way for me to get a signal is for him to cut the trees. We live deep in the forest and most houses were built by clearing only the footprint of the house and long drives. I really think my best option might be internet if I can find access that works for me. (currently part of the cable package)
The answer might be what I had to do. I live on a mountain covered in trees. Like you, there is just enough trees cut for the house and nothing more. The dishes (DirecTV and Exede satellite internet) are on the roof on one side of the house. There is enough space where both services can see the southern sky, and my house is oriented where the long part of the house is generally north to south. Around here, the satellite companies have been known to put the dish right on the property line adjacent to the road, using the area above the road for access to the southern sky. Sounds more like lazy installers than inability to get a good signal due to trees.
