In accordance with the present invention an antenna assembly is provided whereby a satellite dish antenna and a terrestrial antenna, for receiving satellite transmissions and local broadcast television signals, respectively, are mounted in the same location. A single base mounting bracket is used to mount the antenna assembly on a wall or other structure. The satellite antenna is secure to the base mounting bracket by a satellite antenna mast. An antenna interface bracket is also secured to the base mounting bracket. A terrestrial antenna mast, upon which a terrestrial antenna is mounted, is secured to the antenna interface bracket. The antenna interface bracket includes a central portion in the shape of an elongated parallelogram. At each end of the central portion of the antenna interface bracket are mounting ends which are attached at angles with respect to opposite faces of the central portion of the antenna interface bracket. Mounting holes are preferably included in the mounting ends of the interface bracket so that the interface bracket may be mounted with fasteners at one end to the base mounting bracket, and at the other end to the mast of the terrestrial antenna. The antenna interface bracket of the present invention is particularly suited for use with 18 inch diameter digital satellite dish antennas and omni-directional terrestrial antennas having similar dimensions.
