For 3" not sure, for these 1m primestar dishes I bought cornerpost for chain link fence, they're 2 3/8 or 2 1/2" I forget which. They're about 12bucks at building supply stores here. If you have to have 3" exactly check your local junkyard or metal salvager, unless you want brand new metal!

Do you have a HomeDepot / Menards? Use a Basement pole, they were about $25.

Thats what I have used also (but not for a primestar dish). I found the walls of the post weak untill I filled the post with cement.

HD and Lowe don't sell 3" dia fence pole? What is basement pole?
I also filled the fence pole for my fortec 90cm with concrete to strengthen it.

Roger that, concrete 'em full. The best one I found was the one they installed the old primestars on, very good rigid pipe.

What is basement pole?

It is a support column that supports your main floor when you have a basement. I thought it was 3 1/2" in diameter, but I could be wrong. At Home Depot, it is usually located in the outside building materials area near the concrete.

you can also ask the depot/lowes to order it for you if they don't have it in the store... but that's odd.. I've seen them in my local stores..
