The 500 and 1000.4 masts are both 1-5/8.
Dish Network's distributors are separate companies from Dish
itself.....I guess I never tried buying from them when we weren't a Dish
retailer, so I don't know if they're allowed. I can't imagine they
would say "no" if they have a choice.
Don’t most satellite dishes take a 2” mast now?

Can you get the Dish network masts without being a Dish dealer?

The skywalker ones are indeed made of thinner gauge steel and a
little wimpy. They're still ok for small antennas. I have not
seen a problem with the finish wearing, and we're in acid rain
territory....I think Luthman is too actually.
For dishes, I liked the ones from the Dish Network supply chain.
The Dish 500 mast was the same price as skywalker but beefier.
For real ruggedness, the Dish Network 1000.4 has a larger pan so
the masts available for that are all very burly.

We bought some a while back and they seemed like they were

Maybe they have improved. I have never used a flimsier
mast in my life. I bought 50 of them last year. I have
already had three service calls from them bending out of
alignment in wind, and the thin powder coating is already
turning to rust after only one year. Plus they all have
big ugly yellow warning stickers on them.

I've bought nearly all of mine from Skywalker. They
seem fine, in
fact they're the favorite one to use because of the
hole pattern
in the base.

I have been happy with the long masts from
Perfect10.tv, but I
can absolutely tell you don't ever buy masts from
Skywalker!!!

They are out of stock and no ETA. Trying to find
something equivalent without going to the
DS-3000. Those
are a little more flimsy.
