HD Slimline Satellite Dish/alernative to tripod

[nymbis]

I am moving into an apartment and they do not allow us to mount the satellite dishes on the building at all. I have searched and searched for tripods that will support the weight of the dish and have not found any that I think would work. Is there another way in which to secure the dish?

If your local channels are provided in HD from DirecTV you can put a slimline 3LNB on a (18X20) phase III dish and do a normal tripod mount or bucket pole mount.

This has worked for many apartment/condo type installs the 12 pound phase III dish is much lighter and smaller dish than the 32-35 pound slimline dish.


This may not be for you but I can tell you it works.

thanks for the help guys! I may do the bucket pole mount. It would probably be more stable.

You could also do a non-pen roof mount, it is held down with concrete blocks...If it would fit it would be very stable....
