[QUOTE="Zed, post: 745853, member: 369096"] Hey guys, Well I got the bracket up using a combination of a couple of suggestions. I bought a 9mm drill bits and hammered the nylon wall plugs in. Some of the plugs wouldn't go in, so I drilled the hole with a 10mm bit and stuck the plug in with some cable tie ends (which worked beautifully). So, success in that regard, thanks! Then I had a horrible realisation that made me feel sick! I installed the bracket under a window, so the window ledge protrudes out and reduces the amount of bracket standoff available which wasn't even that much to begin with on this little bracket! The TD88 is a big dish and Im not sure if I can turn it enough to point where its supposed to. It all depends on which way the dish is supposed to point, which Im not too sure about, so I'm here again to consult the exeperts :P I've posted a picture of the bracket. In the relation to the Sky Minidish that's up at 28.2, does my dish (for 19.2 - 13 - 0.8 ) need to be turned more to the LEFT or more to the RIGHT (when facing the dish - same perspective as the photo). If it needs to go more to the left, then Im basically screwed. Thanks again for all the help. [/QUOTE]
