Mounting Pole Question

Hello
I have a question. I have a 7.5 foot UniMesh dish. It takes a 3.5 inch
pole. Does a 10 foot dish use a the same size pole?
Thank you
Don

Most of the common polar mounts do , yes.

Some of the larger H-H mounts for the big dishes require a 4" pole.

You need to check the mount of the dish.

Hi will check this out. I have a 7.5 foot unimesh. How much better would the signals b with a 10 foot. I'm not sure which would be best. I can get a 10 foot I just have to pick it up. Its setup for 4DTV. I would like to do both FTA and 4DTV. Any ideas what I should do. Thank you Don

the bigger dish is better in my opinion. especially with the new fta DBS_2 signal being broadcast.and the bigger dish is always better for 4DTV.
