Well, the install went better than I could have expected due to the capabilities of a very smart installer. When he looked at my set up with the post and metal pipe strapped to it, his reaction was 'that's crazy'. He proposed a work around of installing a dish that would receive just the 99...

I picked up a piece of 1 1/2 rigid conduit today and stopped at the muffler shop and had them weld a 12" piece of 2" muffler pipe to the end. I'll put it up tomorrow and level everything before the installer arrives. I'm not sure if this will fly... The rigid is much stiffer than the EMT, so...

3 1/2 feet of this 10 foot piece of rigid conduit will be strapped to a 12' 4x6 post (4' of that 4x6 post is set in concrete), giving me a dish height of between 12 and 13 feet. The 4x6 is quite rigid and I'm hoping that the rigid metal conduit won't sway too much if I strap the two together...

Thanks for the insight. I'm thinking of changing to 1 1/2" rigid metal electrical conduit (not EMT) which is much more rigid than 2" EMT. 1 1/2" should be just shy of 2" outside diameter (like a tenth of an inch smaller). Do you know if the the mounting bracket for the new slimline dish can...

Thanks. Does anyone know how rigid tubing from a muffler shop is? I'm concerned because I have to run quite a bit above my post. I wouldn't want it to sway too much.

Thank you for all the great information here! I'm trying to upgrade from standard def. to high def. with whole home DVR. The existing 3 LNB dish is mounted on a 12' 4x6 post set 4' deep in concrete (8' above ground) with a 3' metal extension running from the mounting bracket to the dish. It...
