Pole mount I could definitely do.By ground mount I meant on a pole mounted into the ground.
...as opposed to mounted to a roof or the side of a house.

Min 6ft preferably 10ft. I got 2 old Primestar (channelmaster) Ku dishes years ago, both out of the trash.

I just bought it, I also got 30 days Free Amazon prime lol.
So it only Cost $29.
The Dish I may go Ebay though.
Amazon wants $30 to ship it.
Doesn't qualify for Prime.

FWIW: might check www.dishpointer.com to check your LOS. Place the X of the green marker on your dish location.
Use the obstacle checker tool. Place the small red marker on the suspected obstacle and read out the height at which it may interfere. It assumes the dish is on the ground, so add your dish height.

I'm good though, I already know I can't go to my left under 55 degrees and 129 max to my right.
I have the Dish pointer Pro app for my phone, so It's fairly easy to see where I need to be, and surprisingly extremely accurate.
125 should be no issue if I pole mount it on my 2nd Tier flower bed.
Then I have clear path for all, and I could probably put 3 more dishes there in the future if I go pro. Lol.
But past the 129 I would need to remove a big tree, and anything under 55 my house is in the way.
Farm looks fine to me though.
What does your neighbors say?

Linear is what you want. Linear - PLL - Standard.
as apposed to Circular - non PLL - Universal
"Do they all work?" is the most common question.
Most common answer is; "Yes"
All domestic FTA is linear. Domestic Ku is 11700 to 12200, Standard LNBF. C band is 3700 to 4300.
FWIW: Some international (Atlantic) Ku is below 11700 (Universal LNBF) And some are circular on C band.

:up
Only reason I asked, I have 1 DP or DPP single LNB (can't remember off hand). I didn't know if at some point I could use it at add on.
If not I may put that up for sale too.

I'd call it done. But there's Manhattan Digital and Programming Center working on keeping it alive.(with new equipment)

And don't believe the specs on some of the ones sold on amazon and ebay.
Troch,for C band consider checking Craigslist for a bud. We also have a thread here where we post dishes listed on Craigslist, Ebay ,etc:

Be sure and get these folks advice on any dish you are thinking about getting first. We have members here who have first hand experience with about anything you'll happen to find.
In particular,don't think that something is good just because the armadillo posted it.I just find 'em,I rarely know what is good and what is garbage.
