I am afraid that I do not understand your question. I take it that Comcast is a cable company and you left them and have subscribed or you are about to subscribe to Directv. I also understand that they are going to put your directv dish on your neighbors property.

With that much information I do not understand why they would want to place the dish on a neighbors property. Is this because of tall trees or buildings that would not allow a line of sight from the dish to the satellites?

I would think that Directv or Dish Network would put the dish wherever you want that is practical. The dish could be mounted to the side of your house. It can even be placed on the roof of your house. Kind of hard to get to it to clear off the snow. Since you are in a place where there is hurricanes you probably do not have much snow if any.

Please provide a little more information about your location, obstacles, terrain, trees and so on. I will be happy to help you if if I can, once I understand the situation or reason for the problem.
