Universal wall/roof mount

Universal wall/roof mount  and 40mm LNBF clamp included with this dish

Excellent construction and easy installation dish.  Higher KU band signal gain (38.24 dB) than the competition.  Comes with a standard easy fit Pole mount.  The Elevation scale is easy to set and accurate.  The included LNBF holder allows you to install a 40mm LNBF or a 25mm LNBF with the included adapter. The included mount comes with two support legs that you can install, if necessary, to add more wind support to the dish.  All hardware screws and nuts are of high quality material.  This is by far one of the best dishes in the market today.

Allows perfect reception of analog, digital and high-definition programs on KU band satellites. Can be used to replace your Dish network or DirecTV single LNBF dishes. It will reduce or eliminate your rain fade signal problem.

If you you want a better signal reception, you might want to consider a bigger dish like the FS 90CM dish.  Notice the size difference in the reflectors between the 80cm and 90cm dishes:
