What would be the best way to attach this to the back of a satellite dish being it does not have an adhesive ?

This is a flat battery pad heater, designed to be placed under an automotive battery in a car. It appears you intend to use it for a purpose other than that for which it is intended. This heater pad was not designed to and will not lay flat on a convex surface like the back side of a satellite dish. I don't believe it will work as you envision. Also, since it has an electric current flowing through it, have you considered the possibility it will interfere with your dish's reception?

The heater is flat, not molded to a curve, so it won't hug your dish. Try taking a single sheet of 8.5" x 11" copy machine paper and try to make it flush to your sat dish w/o any folds and you'll see what I mean. Good luck in your search.

Up here in Alaska we use high temp RTV then duct tape until set. Be sure to plug into outlet briefly to ensure it works prior to installing. Common application is to oil pans, transmission pans and under batteries.

First time doing this, so i hope this helps. My Dish network dish came with a mounting bracket to mount it to a roof or wall. I drilled a 3/4" hole through the middle of this mounting bracket, then used a 2" to 2.5" long SS Bolt with a wing nut and bolted it through the bracket used on the tripod to mount a transit or laser level. The slight offset in the dish mounting bracket worked great to keep the center of gravity over the center of the tripod. Hope this helps.

I used 3m double sided tape. You can also use a small screw as there is a mounting hole on the back of the unit.

I'm curious about this as well. Has anyone found an answer or an alternative? Aluminum might be better for this.EDIT: Retroplanet sells a stoneware TV dinner dish.

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

We managed to get the mounting in - using a power drill with a screwdriver bit. I don't think the double stick tape would last long... They do put out a bit of heat, and gravity is against you!

Supplied mounting strips would hold on as long as it is not relocated a lot, if that was the case you could still purchase 3m sticky strips for about .99 locally. Then you could relocate as much as you desire

I used double sided tape but you can use screws. I used some great double sided outdoor tape from 3m (upgraded) that works very well for outdoor use.

The piece it comes with is intended to mount on the front of an optical drive with double-sided tape, and there is no other included way to mount it. I believe your best option is to duct tape it in place from the inside.

Yes, you can use double sided tape or screw it in. Hopefully you have room to mount it on a flat surface as that would be better. Hope that helps.

hmmm not sure? I have 2 tv's, a Samsung and Pioneer. Both have glossy glass screens and the suction cup holds on both. I'm guessing those tv's you mentioned are more of the computer plastic monitor type screens? I wouldn't recommend any adhesive or tape unless you're planning on just keeping this thing on the tv for while.

Sorry hit send before complete You have to cut a hole in the cover for the antenna but they supply a round reinforcement piece of material that is suppose to be ironed onto the cover. Mine is not sticking so I'm looking for an alternate way to keep it attached

The antenna, mounting plate, 30' control cable, 2 lengths of coax, a splitter, a control box, ac adapter, and mounting screws. For self-installation, you'll need several tubes of lap sealant, a drill, screwdriver, and something to pull wire through the roof to where you want to place your satellite receiver. There are videos on you tube that show a typical installation. If you're roof is curved, you'll need some kind of mounting plate. The antenna must mount flat to seal the electronics inside the base and keep the antenna from pulling loose from the roof.

If you need to use temporary adhesive, you may have better luck by attaching one of these with screws to a mounting surface like a picture frame or small piece of wood (maybe 4" x 4") and attaching the velcro adhesive strips to the back of the piece of wood. There's not really a place to put the velcro strips on these micro units. There's not a large, flat area for the velcro to hold onto - the unit is small to begin with, there's not a battery cover (it stays in fine but might get grabbed by the adhesive on the back of the velcro strip), and the flat area on the bottom of the unit leaves very little room for the velcro to attach to. If you need to use velcro, you'd be better-off with a standard-sized unit.

I used a screw and hung it like you would a picture. I imagine good double sided tape would also work. ??

I use 3M command strips. The best option for you may be the velcro type for hanging pictures on walls. This way you can just use the included mount... I picture everyone else now going "ahhhh good idea" :-) smiles

Very easy. I don't recall if silicone adhesive came with it or not. If not, you just need to pick up a small tube at your local hardware store.
