Good re-enforcement. I have heard all the issues with respect to getting the thing fixed. I called Dish and I called King Controls last year but got a "HUH, I'll have to check into that". The person assured me that they would stand behind the warranty if I encountered such a problem such as this. I am probably going to buy one this year. One other thing I should have asked is, Has anyone bought the window or ledge mount attachments? I thought I might be able to clamp it to the lip on my silde to keep it off the ground so park maintenance doesn't hit it with the mowers. I considered the bumper but want more versatility to move if trees are in the way. Thanks for the replies.
