Can I use it to cover an old 8' satellite dish that I want to turn into a Tiki Bar?

A little late with reply......but great idea! If you haven't done it yet, I'm sure that would be great. One thing to remember rain & weather deteriorate it. Try to put in for bad weather conditions.Tina

Thanks everyone. I have it up and I am really pleased. I wish I could post a photo.

Wow - what an excellent idea! Yes, that would be good support as long as you have good, anchored pole.

Should not be difficult. Start by removing old dish and then the installation of the Trav'ler is simple. One piece of coax and the control cable need to be brought into the rig. Usually done by drilling through the roof, but there are other options. If you go through the roof, Winegard provides a cover plate for where the entry point is.

Doubtful...as it did not fit over my eave trough either. I had the same issues you did with it...trying to get it ten feet from rim to ground.You are better off getting some bar stock and making your own, as this is not only badly designed, but it is certainly nothing special. I concluded that were I to have this very long, I needed something different.

You could but in my opinion, it would look funny. As another reviewer said, just keep them separate or even better, just buy an L shaped bar. There are a ton on Craigslist and Ebay.

not sure what your use would be. it is a small bar table for drinks... not big enough for dinner plates. the cool factor is pretty good though

Yes you need a satellite dish adjusted to the correct direction, and a few other steps. Like before please refer to fta forums...

It could be used to wrap that size TV. It is about 1/4 inch thick and unsure if you are moving or ???? In general yes there is enough wrap to do that.

You know I dont know, all i know is when I moved from San Antonio, the sun had totally destroyed it. However, here is a thought, you could probably just get some plastic sheeting form your local hardware store - home depot, lowes etc and make your own cover, the frame was still good for me. Good luck, hope it works.

I do not think the dish will make any difference. You need to have a HD capable TV. Easy to mount, especially if the roof already carries terrestrial aerial. Cheers

I have found that you can just barely fit a dish 10"X8.5"X4.25" inside. Anything bigger hits the elements.

No, I attempted this. My old dish mount only has about 2" of vertical on the j-shaped tube and it is about 2" outside diameter. I could rest the new antenna mast in the tube but it is loose, and with only 2" vertical to mount to, I'm going to remove the satelite dish mount and install a couple of regular mast mounts to the board.

You could do it with the right counter weight in place and plenty of duct tape. I would not trust this construction with anything heavier than a counter weighted large reflector.

It needs to be a dish satellite - KU 30" or C band 6-10' dish. Hope this helps.

I'm sure a satelite dish can be used with this tv. However, the one I bought ended up coming broken and I sent it back and got a different make.

You might try the Trudeau company - perhaps they can supply one. Otherwise it looks you'll have to buy a new complete dish.

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 used an 1" diameter 6 feet long piece of mast pipe on a try pod on my roof, that use to be for a dish system. mine works great.
