Does it have to be a satellite ?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
My neighbors trees are blocking me from getting satellite internet. Do I have any rights to get them to trim the trees so I can get signal?
Ask him what it would take to get his cooperation. Negotiate from there.As much as I'd like to just move it, the entire back yard from end to end is a solid wall of very very tall trees, taller than any reasonably priced galvanized steel pole could over come. I mean, they are taller than the utility poles. Yes it does have to be satellite. As much as I'd like to just get cable, my small town does not have that luxury. What we do have is a valley, and so the easiest form of high speed internet for anyone out here is through micro wave signals from towers placed throughout town. Unfortunately, the only town on my side of town is one and a half miles away and these stupid trees are taller than a four story house. I thought maybe I could complain to the city and say they are blocking my view or the mountains, or maybe say it's a spite fence, but I was not sure. I asked my neighbor and he said "Darn, that sucks". Even offered to do it for him all expense paid.
Then build a tower. But make sure that it doesn't violate any of your local municipal codes, or else apply for a variance.As much as I'd like to just move it, the entire back yard from end to end is a solid wall of very very tall trees, taller than any reasonably priced galvanized steel pole could over come.

I think you forgot a word in thereAt that point, the company can position the satellite in any direction to get the best signal.
Yep, they can move the dish around to their heart's content...but the satellite stays put. Well, that's the plan at least.They might when they're installing the dish. That's what I meant when I mentioned that. Always thought the satellite company does this so the customer gets the proper signal. And, according to the OP, it looks like he hasn't had the service installed yet.
