Message: [QUOTE="runningman, post: 17717, member: 982"] I was called today by E*, to notify me that my 12/16 install of SD was postpone "due to manpower unavailability". I live south of Albany, NY and when i called them back to confirm the new 1/18 date today, I took the opportunity to ask them what size pipe I should use for the SD install since E* moved the albany locals to 121. I previously installed a type II sized pole(2 3/8) back in november prior to the shifting of channels strategy E * has embarked on. Video62(thanks) was helpful in notifying me about a Petra adapter if i needed to reduce down in pipe diameter. My question is this the CSR i spoke with today told me that the Type I metal dish is too heavy for a pole mount and that a tripod mount would have to be used for the install. Does this sound correct? Can anyone who has installed a type one dish confirm that the pole mount is a no-go? How heavy is that puppy? [/QUOTE]
