Got rid of Direct TV. Putting up a OTA antenna. Want to use the direct mount, looking to add 2' or 3' extension to gain some height....Any suggestions?

Well, I found this. Not specifically made as an antenna extension but might be able to make it work?

I see the site I posted previously expects you to order them in multiples of four. :oops:

Here is a site with a 4ft x 2" extension that allows just a single unit to be ordered.

Im going to give it a try! Thank you
 
Sorry, I think the DTV mount is simply not fit for purpose. Probably weak in wind.

Is an antenna mount and extension pole really that much more expensive than your jury-rig? Jerry-rig?

The price difference may be cheap insurance against ending up buying both.

It could be and issue if the antenna is very large but I have seen many people reuse dish poles for smaller antennas without issue. I guess size does matter... ;)
