Abstract
The satellite dish baseplate serves as a support panel integrated into plywood and installed on the roof of a home to provide simpler stationing of a direct-to-home satellite. Particularly when new houses are being built, the baseplate can be utilized for either eastern or western satellites. Such satellites can be attached or detached from the baseplate. The plate comes with all the necessary threaded holes and additionally has a cover for when the baseplate is not in use by a satellite dish.
