Here is a link to a soffit mount kit that I almost bought before the need
for it was eliminated by the single-dish solution Dish 1000:

It mounts under the soffit, and the mounting bracket extends out
horizontally to take the dish's mounting pad.

It should be a 1 1/2" fitting on the dish, but do check it. Or better yet
take it with you to an electrical supply house that has heavy gauge
threaded
aluminum pipe. The alternative is steel pipe from a plumbing or hardware
store, again threaded, so you can screw them together for the length you
need. A sat dealer should have the eave offset bracket, or even Radio
Shack.
Or you could make one.

Joe,
I need two dishs installed which is why I don't want to put 12 penetrations
into my roof. In a year or so I will only need one dish but for the time
period...
The pole sounds like a good idea, any suggestions where to purchase a heavy
enough one to do the job? Thanks again
