Your telling me :D Hard to manhandle round a corner too :)

I would imagine so, i will just stick with 4 x wf100 single cables, and do what you guys say. Just clip one and then tape the rest to it.

Just a quick thx to the help i got of people of this board. Did the installation yesterday, and it worked. Like others say, just make sure your pole is totally plumb, and your half way there.

Thx again for those who helped.

p.s For any one else looking at this. When i first did it i thought i did not get 16e. I woke up this morning, and started fine tuning the west and east of satelittes and now i get it. After you install, you must fine tune your dish with your reciever to make sure you have it as good as you can get.

thx guys, glad it all worked. In the end i used 2 k brackets, and man are those brackets strong. Hopefully that thing should stay in place now. Now all i need for a final test is rain, to see if the sat i want stays on in the rain.

Anyone know where i can get a bracket for putting a sky mini dish onto a 2 inch scaffold pole. The minidish is only meant for a smaller pole, and does not fit the 2 inch pole.

Anyone know of any adapter for the back of the sky minidish to fot on a 2inch scaffold pole?
