hey, i'm setting up my directv dish again since they replaced the balconies
at my apartment complex. the new balcony allows me to set up my directv
without using a pole, i can use the "gray stand" screwed into the balony
(finally, no long pole) which came with the system and still get a signal
lock. However, I don't know what I need to "lock" the dish arm in the
position I need. What kind of bolt goes through the little hole at the
bottom of the arm so it stays where I want it to? I'm not understanding
it... lol

LAG BOLTS...
usually the 1/4" variety works fine... couple inches long. also, you need
to 'plumb' the arm before installing the upper dish portion... and then
there's the aiming of the dish...
