[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1148669, member: 176704"] OTOH, the concept of fixing a "smallish" [I](whatever that might be taken to mean?)[/I] dish to a "random something" is not in itself to be casually dismissed. Fixing a dish to "something" that is not itself actually fixed to the ground is really no different to using a dedicated satellite dish "Non Penetrating Ground Mount" (NPGM) - and [I]could[/I] work provided that that "something" can firmly support the dish and be swivelled to align it, but then will not then easily be accidently knocked out of alignment! Thus, that might not be a supermarket shopping trolley (as in the pic!) but could be anything from an up-turned bucket (we've seen those on the forum!) to an old (immobile!) car that you planned to restore but didn't, or maybe even a small section of scaffolding that is erected, [I]free-standing[/I], on the ground - the only limit [I](apart from time, money and available effort)[/I] is the owner's imagination!
