Richard,

Depends.  The older dishes for KU band were quite large and had a rotator to aim 
at the different birds.  The little 18-inchers a la Dish Network and DirecTV are 
mounted on a small bracket.  Mine was mounted near the roof and aimed toward the 
southern horizon.  I doubt you could mount anything worthwhile on that kind of 
bracket.

Hello;
This may be much to general a question but I'm wondering if anyone here has
had much experience with tv satellite dishes.  My future home has a dish
which will probably go to the scrap pile.  I'm wondering how they are
mounted?  Are they generally on some kind of a tripod which could be used
for a 2 meter 40 cm antenna?
