A neighbor first tried Direct TV last spring, but ran into the tree/big hill issue and they couldn't make it work. The neighbor brought in Dish and now he's happy with the service and signal. It seems the latter points toward different satellites, in a different direction (around 30-40 degrees more southerly than with DTV) and double the angle upward. Now he's looking over the tops of different trees. Which satellite service to try thus may depend on your local terrain and tree configuration.
