I want to put it, 2-3 feet over guttering(roof line).

1) I have a T&K 24" bracket set, is that enough?
2) What are the best bolts to use to stick the brackets to the wall, to be most secure?
3) Should i use 2 T&K brackets, to make it safer?
4) How long should the pole be(i will be using a scaffold pole), to be able to hold this?
5) Is there any site that deals with these questions?
6) Living in london, will i get Eutelsat W2, with a 80cm dish?
7) What cable clips can i use for fitting cable to pebble dash walls, the normal ones just bounce of?

Thx in advance for any help.
Welcome to satellites,

1. 18 inch or 24 inch T&K should be fine, make sure they are Galvanised.
2. Shield Anchor bolts M10's x 60mm is what I use for TK's
3. One set should be enough....
4. Scaffold pole should be long enough to ensure the dish clears the guttering and a bit of clearance
5. HERE, lol
6. With a good quality dish this shouldn't be a problem. ( recommend Penta 85 - see my avatar)
7. pass

Hope this helps you out fella.
