Hello there! We've had Starlink for over a year now and still very happy with it vs. the limited DSL options we have here. The obstructions will definitely reduce bandwidth, interrupt downloads, and become very irritating with brief (or extended) drops during video calls (which I spend most of my day on). We got MUCH better performance and reliability when we moved it to the roof. You may consider looking into their Ridgeline or Peak non-penetrating roof mount. It's just a folding hinge that holds the dishy without having to drill any screws or holes in the roof. All it takes is hauling a few bricks up to weigh it down. It's rated for high winds, and actually stayed solid even when we had the 70mph winds that took off part of our roofing just 15 feet away from it a few weeks ago.
Here's a link and pics I did of ours.

Double thumbs up on the mount. Enjoy your new connectivity!

That’s great to hear @ksteem 👋🏻😊 thanks for sharing that with me.
I just checked the shop and here it’s not available in the shop.
But we will get the longer pole, so we can raise it higher up. So it should have less obstructions.
As we move within the next year to a place of our own, we will put it there on the roof to have better coverage.
I glanced over your post and will read through it in the morning, too late here now… and I want to really take the time for it. I will comment there then.
Thanks a lot for all the useful info, much appreciated.
Have a wonderful weekend further 👋🏻😊
