..it fits on a 1" pole and the satellite arm that I'll be using is larger than that....I just need to figure out an adapter for it.....maybe PVC..?

I'm not removing the old dish. I have another arm that I'll use....it has a DTV HD antenna bar on it that's a piece of junk....pull it off and I'll use that RG-6 that's already run inside....  ;D |^| ;D....

...busy day.....first climbing up on the roof and getting the dish arm adapted for the antenna mount...then going up and mounting the rig....got everything hooked up, then done to the basement to trace the wire and hook that in....then back up and hooking into the power rotor unit....tv's connected...then reset tv's to 'air'...and started a channel search.....ping X BOOMBA.....LOL........checked out some stations....then back up to double check my mount and dress the wire down nice..........looks good....didn't take that long either.....

..I ended up grabbing 1" X 36" piece of PVC.....then drilled a couple holes in the mount arm.....slid the PVC in and then tightened it down good with some screws....it's nice and secure... |^|    a perfect mount.. ;D |^| ;D......the 1" fit nice and snug in the antenna underside pole fixture that has two nice tightening screws....it should handle some good winds well... |^|
