We just had Dish Network installed. The installers told us that the ideal situation would be the short pole in the ground, but in our case they couldn't find a location that would give direct line-of-sight (so to speak) to the satellite. Instead they mounted it to the back corner of the roof. We were told that the architectural review folks have a problem ONLY with mounting it to the roof in the FRONT of the house, and that even in this case, if it's the ONLY way to get proper reception, it would have to be done that way. I've never heard that it's an issue to mount it to the roof on the BACK of the house. Hmmm....
