I will be getting an HBU11 antenna and I would like to ask for help re-using a Dish mount. See the photo below:
The location is good for the OTA, the wire is already there, the problem is the mount. If I attach it to the dish mast it would be too low, maybe even touching the roof. I understand the antenna should be about 3 feet above the roof.
What are my options here? If I just buy a J mount, it would also be too short.
Would a 1.25" x 5 ft. pole that various places sell be OK to stick inside the existing dish J mount?
What about just buying a pipe from a place like Home Depot?
Based on my measurements the existing J mount is about 1 5/8 in diameter, perhaps you guys know the standard measurement ID for a Dish branded antenna.
Thoughts? Ideas? I'm trying to keep it simple and not climb up on the roof, just want to re-use the location.
Thank you.
