The size I used is 1 5/8" OUTSIDE diameter. Had the local hardware store cut a 14 foot piece of black water pipe. Cost $20. Then put it in a 2 gallon bucket of cement. The 5 gallon bucket was going to be overkill. About 10 foot up the pole it is anchored to the eve of the house. Solid as a rock.
thanks TomV, good idea! The location i have marked for installation, will require the pole to be free-standing since it will be in the middle of the back yard. I figured i would get at least an 8-10 ft. pipe and put it in the ground about 2 1/2-3 ft. and anchored in quik-set cement.
I can only speak for my retailer's practices, but as of the last couple weeks we've been moving away from the different brands of basic DTV receivers toward a single DirecTV-branded unit.
Advanced receivers like the Executive Director (HAH-SA) are still available, and TiVo/HD receivers are still available in branded forms, but the "dumb terminals", if you will, are being consolidated. I was disappointed I couldn't get the RCA DRD486 advanced model due to stocking issues resulting from this decision (I loathe IR remotes).

I know I will get flak for saying this, but I got an 8 ft 4X4 fence post that is attached to a post support that is metal and screws into the 4X4. It has a spike that goes 2 ft into the ground. That is what I will be using for my Directv dish when it gets reinstalled tomorrow.
