Satellite signal loss from a newly leafed out tree branch?

Are you one of those people with a satellite dish who experience “partial signal loss” when the trees leaf out every spring?  Yep, you put up with it all summer until the fall when the trees go bare again. Put that together with what a certified tree surgeon will charge you to come out and “try to get the branches that are blocking the signal” and you can understand frustration and the expense of “trying to cut the right tree branch.” Here are two solutions for you, and I do not recommend either of them.  Well, unless you’re courageous and don’t mind taking a chance, and have good medical coverage. One answer for you is downright risky and is  not for the faint of heart.  The tools you will need are a ladder, some duct tape (well yeah, what else?) one good flashlight or strong laser pointer and a nice, long tree trimming pole. Here’s what you do:  just bfore dark use the ladder to get on your roof and get over to your satellite dish.  Be sure to take your roll of duct tape and flashlig
