One day... The new girl doesn't run the road 24/7, so I don't get out that way that often.

I really need to get my 90cm back up and in the ground before I think about a receiver eh?

Still debating on where to put the sucker up... think I'll have to attach it to the concrete slab and once I do it, I'm done. Need to rig up a bucket with concrete first to test a few places. I believe the one place I have will get from about 135 to 72 or so. Unless I put in the front yard...but I'm not doing that

Maybe I'll just entice you with some cash to bring your box over and help me setup the 90cm I'm sure your coonass self could figure out some way to mount that sucker on my slab.

Slab? Why? you don't have a YARD? What kinda woman did you marry, anyway?

And if you needed a dish, you shoulda let me know. I have options readily available. And as far as help, yeah. I can do that. Azbox ain't worth a damn for setting up a dish, but one of my Coolsats would do nicely.

LOL... who said anything about marrying?

Of course I don't have yard...all of us in Louisiana have elevated houses on the swamp right? and take pirogues to the store by the lake, right?

Yes, I have a yard. There's a slab on the back side of the house where I have my Dish1000 mounted on the house. It's like 12 by 15 or so. The parked his boat on it behind the wooden fence in the back yard. I'll PM you my address and you can look on DishPointer. I'll take a few pics and start a new thread to maybe get some suggestions from you guys.

One other thought I had was attaching it to the house. But I don't have the stabilizers or mounting kit from the 90cm anymore as I kinda used them for other projects since I had it pole mounted in the yard at the last house.

Go to home depot, or even better a local fencing supplier, get a 8 to10 feet length of the thickest wall 2.75" or 3" pipe you can get, a post hole digger, and a sack of quickcrete. Dig hole, mix concrete, put pipe in hole, put concrete in hole, level and brace pipe, drink beer, the end.

Wait three days, mount dish, call me to come inspect it.

Now what was so hard about that?

I think the "drink beer" should be earlier in the sequence, but basically , that's the story !

Smarty pants... I sunk my last pole with no issues. I could put it in the yard but the tree in the neighbors yard is gonna get me on anything less than 80w degrees or so.

Obviously you have never worked with Digiblur. You let him drink AFTER or you'll never get anything done....

I noticed from the link you sent. I don't see a way around that, what did you have in mind? I mean obviously other than me bringing the Stihl over and my wife and your GF going over and distracting the neighbor for about an hour....
