Dishes can be placed on the ground between houses on a short, 4 ft, pole much as AC units are placed between houses. It's very hard to notice them from the street when they placed this way.

However DirectTV charges extra to do this. They will do a placement on the edge of the roof for free.

Also on the ground placement is subject to being hit by lawn mowers which, unless you are very handy, would require a service call to DirectTV to re-align. However we've had ours installed this way for 6 years without any issue.
