Dish 1000 mount size?

[iafirebuff]

I have a Dish 1000 being installed in a few weeks. I am thinking about having them put it on a pole mount. Any idea what size pole the Dish 1000 takes? I want to have the pole in cement before they get there. Thanks!

Same as the Dish 500, 300 and Direct Single and Phase III ( mental block on size ) poles should be available at your local home depot type store.

Thanks! I thought so, but wanted to confirm. I want to have it all set when they come to install

you will love the HD! I find that there is so much to watch now. Between FTA and Dish I have no life.

I measured the pole on the tripod I use for camping 1 -11/16" is what I came up with...

If you go to Home Depot, get a 1-5/8" O.D. Chain Link Fence post. This will work great. I would go with 8' or 10'.

1 1/4 galv water pipe = 1 5/8 o.d. some would say overkill, but here in tree country it does come in handy because you can extend the height if needed in the future.

Am using 1 5/8 EMT conduit pipe from the Home Depot electrical department. I always fill these with concrete for stability and to keep water from freezing in it.
