The problem with the winegard mount is that it's a bit "Sloppy" (Loose, or whatever you wish to call it) and allows the dish to move a bit, With the KA birds, (2 of the 5) This can be serious and cause loss of signal

Other than that, Looks like a good article, and for those with other mounts, it may well work quite nicely. But I get too many reports on the forums of the winegard mount moving in the breeze.
