It really depends on your tripod as to how well it will work.
I just upgraded to HD and had the same dish your speaking of placed on my tripod by the installer. He had a short stub mount that was 2" that I put on the tripod and attached it with screws. So far there have been no loss of signal with winds gusting to 53 mph and steady at 25 mph.
If you are using a roof type tripod (small foot print) you are going to have headaches with signal loss. This is the Tripod I use. It's very easy to setup on uneven ground to achieve plumb.
I've been using this tripod for about 7 years and it has never tipped over or had a LOS caused by wind. The large foot print really stabilizes it. You will have to add a short 2" pipe to attach the dish.
Depending on where I am and how long I will be in the same spot I will put a screw awning hold down in the ground in the center of the tripod and attach a bungee but most times I hang a gallon jug of water under it and it's fine.
