Hell, maybe I should install the roof deck then attach the dish to the deck...

Installing the dish on a vertical surface is always advisable, as it's easier to waterproof. As for the roof deck, there are loads of apartment-dwelling diehards on the tivocommunity boards that have bolted the dish to a pole stuck into a 5 gal. bucket of concrete. Of course, these fellows are pasty-faced Gollumesque nerds who could think of no better use for a balcony or sundeck.
