DirecTV Install Help

Hey Gang. I had a DirecTV installer from Bluegrass Satellite here yesterday for an install. I live out of town just a bit and trees are a big problem in regards to signal stregnth. Since I signed up for the HD package, I guess my dish needs to allign with 5 satellites?

The problem. The trees that are posing the issue are on a neighbors property and cutting is not an option and the terms of my lease say that I cant put holes in the exterior of the house. The installer says that I need to get a non-penetrating roof mount and that will get me up high enough to get a signal. I have found the mount here, but is there one that will work on a sloped roof? I dont have that big of a pitch, but then again I dont want to buy what wont work either. He mentioned one that is hinged and fits over the peak of the roof, but I cant find any information on that mount. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The one he mentioned that is hinged and fits over the peak is simply a tripod mount; however it must be lag bolted into the roof. There are lots of non-penetrating mounts out there. I dug up some dirt for you. Check this stuff out ---> http://www.rstcenterprises.com/our_products/
