Here are some pics of my "special" 1 meter commercial dish mini bud. One of the pics has my older 1 meter dish with 30 inch commercial dish right next to it.

Management walked past it so far didn't see it increase in size. Maybe try for 6' next time.

Sounds like management doesn't care too much. Watch out for the maintenance staff. They are the ones that know what is going on. And they are the ones that have to mow around the equipment. Keep the complex maintenance people happy and there may be an 8 footer in your future. (A bucket of chicken at lunch time might be all it takes.)
 
Mom got mad at me for doing it she thinks its big dish its only 4 feet i could have a 10' thats big. I feel like its performing a magic act and see how far is to far in size.
 
Would be a good experiment though 6' offset dish on a 2 inch pole painted with the fake dtv logo.
 
A) Replace if a 5ft off-set then upgrade to 6ft off-set later....doubt anyone will notice.
B) The blacken dish below the 4footer... where is that aimed at? I noticed the 2 LNBS on the 4footer arm facing downwards.
 
Those were on my older 1 meter dish 99w c band 91w ku, 87 ku, 97w ku was flapjack dish got a great signal upside down. The special 1 meter dish has tube arms were I would drill more holes in the tube to add on lnbs on.
