As I understand it, you just set the little dishy thingy out in the yard and it pretty much points itself.
You've got this.

I don't have an answer for you. But you might want to also look at Tmobile Wifi.
I recently got them for internet, works great. No contract, they lock you at the price you pay. We are lcoked around $50/month and it works great.
All at the same time: I streamed movies on 3 TVs (differnet apps), Youtube on 2 phones, Youtube on my work computer, Webex meeting and file download.
It worked fine, no issues.
I have had Webex meetings during storms, streamed movies during storms, no issues.

I have one for my RV (not mounted permanently though). Researching the pole mount I found tons of mount options available on Amazon - I'd pick one there and maybe contact a local roofer, or a contractor who doesn't mind heights, and have them install it on the right side of your house (test it first in your yard - doable without actually signing up).
Where, and how, you run the cable to the router will be your next problem.
Good luck.

Huh? I’d say it more depends on your options and it isn’t a cheap alternative.
I thought they had installers available in some locations now.
Quick research shows that if you make a business and advertise as installing StarLink in MA/NH/ME you will make $$$$$$

The question was of a nature that it was difficult to accept at face value.
A widowed great grandmother with dirty bifocals could install a Starlink. And if you can't do that you don't have a PRAYER of installing the crap that USES Starlink.
Ecco later clarified that they are looking to install on a roof. THAT makes sense. Some people, like me, don't like heights. But that wasn't the original question.
This is the issue you come out from the lurk to address?

Either way, Happy New Year.

Right, once the troll brigade dies down...OP, I used a satellite J-mount to install my dish above my roof. The installation kit comes with the grommet that you need. Any competent handyman willing to climb up on the roof can help you out here.
