i normally use cable attached to the dish supports and anchored to another wall or point to if i feel the dish is exposed...gives a bit more stability in the wind...

You should have seen how the dish was anchored. 1.3m dish secured by two 3cm screws. :ohmy: Shocking. :frown: We even doubt that the guy is legally registered for tv and satellite installations.
