ᐅ Where is the best place to install the satellite dish?

An LNB can fail at any time. I would also install them where they are not constantly visible but still accessible.

I would also recommend installing them in places that are easy to access. This is not about submerging the LNB but about winter conditions. It has happened to me several times that snow accumulated in front of the LNB, which disrupted the signal reception. If ours were not installed in an accessible location, there would have been a problem.

The installation location should be considered individually for each project, as several factors have an impact:
- Alignment with the desired satellite
- Appearance
- Mounting (more difficult to implement on external thermal insulation composite systems, also known as ETICS or EIFS, and may cause thermal bridges)
- Lightning protection
- Accessibility (next to a roof window on the roof might allow access to clear snow)
- Cable routing into the house
- Possible shading of a photovoltaic system
etc.

You should also keep an eye on the development plan / zoning plan.

Well, here is a post with correct spelling including capitalization and understandable content. For whatever reason, it works occasionally. Why not always?

Having to consider heritage preservation aspects is the exception.

Antennas mounted away from buildings in open areas or on garages are generally less secure than conventionally grounded roof antennas. For installations in façade zones not requiring grounding according to IEC 60728-11, it should be understood that lightning currents can especially arc from rainwater downpipes.

The lightning sphere and protection angle methods have been empirically confirmed in numerous experiments in high-voltage laboratories. That façade areas located ≥ 2 m (6.5 ft) below gutters and on gable ends beneath roof edges and ≤ 1.5 m (5 ft) from the wall—or the previously somewhat arbitrary “experience values” of 3 m (10 ft) only below gutters and ≤ 2 m (6.5 ft) from walls—are assuredly safe even with soft roofing or wooden structures, has so far not been tested or confirmed by any high-voltage laboratory.

Previous standards recommended lightning current capable grounding even for antenna installations in supposedly safe zones. Certainly not without reason.

The best protection against direct lightning strikes is provided by separate air-termination systems professionally installed in accordance with standards by qualified lightning protection specialists. However, such systems are not free of charge.

Off-topic. I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but I do believe that most of my posts are written with correct spelling. Not to mention the common mistakes that often appear in many forums:
ss / ß used incorrectly
confusion between “das” and “dass”
incorrect apostrophes
unnecessary spaces
and so on.
