I told them I wanted mine wall-mounted, near the pool pump and heater. I even wanted the wiring to be run thru PVC pipe. I bought the pipe and U-mounts from Home Depot and they were completely cooperative in making a very clean and neat looking install, with the dish on the side of the house, where I wanted it. I even bought them a larger, steel box for the wall, more convenient for them and better looking than the small plastic ones they normally use. I think it would be even easier now as the dishes they're using are smaller than a few years ago. They don't need to go to either a roof or pole mount here in Florida because the azimuth of the satellite is far steeper than it is from northern locations.
