Hi guys,
In Tunbridge Wells, with the dish on the front of the house looking ugly and only going as far as 1W before the house gets in the way, I was thinking of mounting the dish up on the roof to get the whole arc. Near my house there, there's a Sky mini dish installed on top of the roof with a penetrating roof mount. It's the one where you remove one tile from the roof, stick the pole through it and bolt it down to the support beams in the attic (not the one that sits on top of a tile). The roof tile is then replaced with a water proof rubber/metal plate thingie that goes around the pole.
Unfortunately, I can't actually find anyone who sells these things.... I suppose I could actually do it myself with a load of tar etc. but would like to do it properly. Any ideas where I can get these?
