Same as mine, tilts toward the NE.
That is the same bracket we have, from the starlink shop we just bought the adapter and the install kit. It was super easy to install, we have it 30' up in the air on the side of our house.I used a regular cheap bracket from Amazon, and the starlink pipe adapter, the antenna pipe locks right into their adapter.

Here is the 150 ft cable. It’s the only cable from router to antenna.

The end I’m holding goes into antenna inside it’s pipe.
Again, this is from the roof. Going down hill and using a pole might gain me a bit. I am going to try a roof mount first. It should save me a bit of struggle with the pole and hopefully will give me what I need.

I also took a video to show what I am looking at.
I have a ton of obstructions, especially since the leaves came out on the trees. Makes it frustrating to use my SL as some times the internet connection is very fast, other times there is basically no connection. I average about 3.4 hrs of total outage a day due to obstructions in the summer.I can bring my RV one down and see what it does.
Nothing that pushing over a few more trees won’t fix.
They aren't selling that service nor onboarding anyone for it yet. They're just announcing a future offering. You are mischaracterizing things. I'm not defending Starlink's current situation, just pointing out that things are not as you indicate.Just another proof of my thoughts.
They say lack of infrastructure and system capacity but turn around and put more drain on the system.
Instead of taking care of the customers that have put down deposits they go and sell what they dont have to another group.
Very good description of things, and great to point out that obstructions should be checked in the exact position the dish will be installed in.As @plowhog wrote, the antenna doesn't move once it is set up. It is a phased array antenna that electronic steers to follow the satellites.
However to find obstructions, you need to actually be where the antenna will be. If it will be on an eave at the north west corner of the third floor of the house, 2.5' above the roof, then that is where the phone has to be as you swivel it around to check for obstructions. I walked to a number possible places, got a feeling for what the likely problems where, but in the end, you do really need to be where the Starlink antenna will go. I did a bunch of roof walks, and in the end from the roof, I found a much easier/better site than I would have found from the ground. I have zero obstructions.
Be safe.
All the best,
