I decided to "split the difference" and chop nearly a foot off the plank. So now my rise above the overhang is just a bit over 1 ft. Seems pretty stable and "wiggle-proof". If need be, I guess I can always chop the rest off later and reinstall/realign the dish.

Well no, not as it relates to the satellite. But that extra two feet gives me an extra year's growth on the pine tree that the dish points above :) All things being equal, I'd rather have to move the dish in 6 years than in 5.

Well, because of the angle to the satellite, putting the dish near where the overhang meets the house is not an option. And since this install will be done by an installer(not me), I'm a little hesitant to let anyone go drilling into the roof. I could probably get by with just cutting off...

Hey bill, Did you have it mounted the way I do here? Note that only the top two-feet of the board are free-standing. The rest is securely bolted to the overhang's post.

Well keep in mind that this is not actually the house's roof, just a one story overhang built onto the back(for storing lawnmowers under, etc.) The house is two stories, so it will be blocking the wind completely on one side. I'm not so much worried about the wind snapping the board. I'm more...

I'm having the dish installed on Wednesday, and in preparation, I decided to attach a 2x6 to an overhang on the back for mounting. Will this be okay? Or will that 2ft of "extra" 2x6 make the dish too wobbly. I was thinking that the dish could be mounted at the top of the board.

Guess my post was pretty transparent: I want to see Braves games :) I think their current TV schedule is: approximately 2 games a week on TurnerSouth, 2 games a week on TBS, and 1 game a week on Fox Sports South(always on Wednesday). Of course this varies on weeks when there are fewer games...

Hello all, I'm having DirecTV installed on Wednesday and I have a couple of questions(forgot to ask when I scheduled the install :( ) 1. Does the installer usually call and do the activation with Direc? Or will I do it? 2. I'm confused about whether Fox Sports South will be included with...
