I should just add, that the bracket we purchased - details above somewhere - is certainly fit for purpose. During Storm Dave, we were well and truly battered but the "dish" remained aligned perfectly - didn't move one bit.

This mirrors our experience and it has been a "game changer" for us.

WOW -that is exactly our situation, but Open reach cut off the copper line 18 months ago and offered Full fibre having installed the cables etc. We chose not to go with them and have ended up with Starlink - very pleased we did to be honest.

In addition to my comments above, here is an image of the tree concerned and its proximity to the dish, situated on the chimney.- hope it helps.

Here is an image of a screen shot that I have just ran, using the app -

@Temp I believe trees aren't an issue provided you are not in a woodland environment. The dish itself can be rotated and the installation can be assisted by the use of the App. It actually shows you where to swivel the dish accordingly, to get the correct alignement. We have a large Oak tree 10 metres from the house and the location of the dish. Although a section of this appears to fall within the "obstructions" picked up by the App there is no real impact on performance. I think the main thing to avoid is solid structures.

That's good to hear - sadly I didn't have the faith at the time, so opted for an alternative which although works very well, isn't as aesthetically pleasing on the eye😁

Here you go - Starlink Gen 3 Mount, Ybervont Starlink Mounting Kit Gen 3, Heavy Duty Starlink Long Wall Mount for Starlink Internet Kit Satellite, Starlink Pole Mount with Starlink Gen 3 Pipe Adapter. Copy and paste the above into Google and it will show up in AMAZON for just under £70. 👍

@Iceverge not sure if this is a question to me specifically, but all I can say is - I was paying £18 per month for our internet via a mobile network - Although it worked, we found it to be sluggiish and very tempermental at best. These frustrations led me to research Starlink. I now pay £35 p m with Starlink and the performance is so much better.

Just an update to this thread since I asked about others experiences etc. I have now installed a Starlink system myself - I purchsaed the Standard Kit / Set up for £75 - it arrived within 10 days from the USA. Due to the high winds we experience here, I just felt the wall mounted brackets they provide, didn't seem strong enough - to few points of contact for my liking. So I purchased a more robust one for £65 and fitted it to the chimney. All set up and working and a much improved experience from the system which I had before - which was a SIM card relying on a mobile network coverage. Using their App, the system is performing very well with 100 mbs being recorded - whatever that means😁

I don't think the line of sight will be an issue alongside the gable wall of the house. The reason I'm considering it is because we are currently using this type of router with a SIM from Smarty for £18 pm - Unfortunately the signal has been dropping more often than not - hence the search for a more stable connection.

Guys, I am on the verge of investing in a Starlink system but attaching the thing to the house is something I would like to aviod if at all possible. Are your systems still at ground level and if so, do you suffer any issues as as a result. The "ground" set up would be ideal for me providing there is little or no impact on perfromance. I'd welcome your thoughts.

Something like the above would do the trick but if you have a free standing structure like we have - you may wish to consider housing in there. Ours is in the corner of an open fronted Oak Framed structure. see image.
