Just confirmed the order, and looking for information on mounting methods. I'd like to attach the dish to the south side of the house. The roof pitch is 12/12, so it would block any reception/transmission below 45 degrees (to the north). Clear shot in all other directions. Is there a way to determine the location of the satellite orbits in my longitude/latitude? I can raise the dish up, with longer pole, to reduce the blockage by the roof - but this would leave out the "Long Wall Mount" option. What size pipe (ID) would be required to accommodate the dish, if I made my own mount?

Hello Micheal, welcome to the community! The Inside diameter of the poles we use is
1-3/4 inch. You will need to take up a little bit of spacing depending on if it is a Gen 1 or 2 Dishy, the Gen 2 Dishy is slightly smaller in outside diameter. As far as the best mounting position you can use the Starlink App to map out the best area, the app can be used any time even before you have the equipment. Because there are many different satellites its hard to say what directions you will be facing, the app is really the only assured tool to help you with this. I hope this helps!
