- Well after reading how easy it is to install satelites I am going to try
- to move mine. Here is what I propose (PLEASE comment):
- My dish is mounted on my roof with a roof mount for one satelite only (fact).
- I want to mount it on a pole so that I can move it from satelite to satelite.
- I think that I should be able to get a polar mount and build a bracket that
- will attach the satelite to the pole pointing at the satelites up above.
- Then supposedly these polar mounts will track the satelite arc as I move
- the dish. Can I do this? Any ideas on a limited budget? Also I will have
- to put the dish on a pole about 20-23 feet up so that it will clear my house.
- Any references, comments, etc. on this will be appreciated.
- Thanks Terry
