Dish location on new home

[TheKrell]

I just signed a new 2-yr agreement with Dish to get their best promo without careful consideration of where I might be able to locate a dish on my new home. Don't judge.

It turns out that the home is situated facing SSE, so according to the DishPointer website, it looks like a clear LOS if the dish were mounted just about anywhere on the western side of the house. The only problem I see is it has to look over my cherry tree in front of the house. So my tentative plan is to affix it to the side of the house near the back. My elevation is 44.9 deg so this should work.

How can the antenna be grounded? The electrical service entrance is on the east side of the house.

Mrs Pepper told me back in the day, she didn't want anything attached to the house, so all my dish antennae are in the back yard on poles. Line of sight is over the house. This also makes it easier to get to if you ever want to adjust something. Also when it's in the yard and they'll be burying the cable (presumably with messenger-ground wire), it might be an easier path to your grounding point before entering the house.
