I had to have dish come out today an relocate my dish. The only good place to put it was in the front of my house on a 3ft pole. How have you guys decorated this eyesore? I can't really do anything now cause it's winter but I'd like to see how you have concealed/covered up the ugly dish/pole in the yard.
Thanks
Joe

They do make dish covers so you might want to check into that.

I found some covers on ebay. I'm looking for something to kinda hide the dish. I don't want the dish to stick out. Maybe some type of small schrubs or something. We're having a Blizzard outside right now so I can't take any pics. When the weather gets better i'll post some pics.

I have seen some painted to match the surrounding color scheme a little better. I have even seen some with some nice art work.

Strap some jet engines to the siding and your house will qualify as an airplane!:yippee:

Puts some lights on those and you have ready made holiday decorations!

Do you pick up NASA signals with those, as well?

I cannot believe that there isn'e one antenna aficionado in this forum!

How can you guys not appreciate a thing of beauty?

Maybe my wife's right...only antenna engineers love antennas, everyone else just considers them a necessary evil.

I will never concede that, however. ;)

The antenna experts are over on the Local HDTV info and reception forum on this board:

I bet some of those guys would "love" the pics of your antenna if you know what I'm saying...:banana:
