Mini Dish on Pole?

    I just got a Sky mini dish (MK3???) to install on my mobile home but I notice it only comes with its own little pole which seems to connect to a wall mount. I was wondering if anyone knows how it might be possible to mount these on a thicker pole (one already housing an aerial) instead of the wall mount?

    Also, the LNB that came with it has a support insert that seems to go into the LNB arm, it doesn't seem to have any screw to secure it only a tiny plastic looking thing, is this all there is?

    Get one of these and use the supplied pole to conect to your existing aerial pole...

    It's called a shelly clamp, should be no more than €5 - €10

    If you can, try and have the mini dish pole facing down, as in the position above it will allow rain water to enter and settle inside.

    Thanks - Will this be alright? The aerial pole is fat, maybe 2-2.5". The minidish pole is much thinner??
    Also, do you know of any sites in Ireland that might sell such a thing?
