Scantenna and TV satellite dish on same antenna tower.
 

Does anybody have any experience with putting a scanner antenna and
their TV satellite dish on the same antenna?

I want to know if there will be any interference issues.

Thanks.

This shouldn't be a problem, as long as you keep them reasonably seperated.
they are both receiving antennas , so there is unlikely to be a problem with
interference.

Not necessarily true. The satellite dish antenna includes a low-noise
block convertor. Depending on the local oscilator frequency in the LNB,
there could be interference to some frequencies in the upper range of
the scanner.

The LO in the convertor would likely bein the GHz range so it's still
unlikely to cause interference.

11.250 GHZ for your standard North American DSS LNB.
Could be 5.150 and/or 10.750 if he was talking about a big old
mesh dish.

Doesn't seem like much chance of interference though.
