• Evaluate the sky visibility: Use the app's obstruction tool to scan the area; a clear view of the sky in Shepshed is imperative.

• Identify potential obstacles: Trees, buildings, or other structures in Shepshed can impede the signal; the survey helps pinpoint these interferences.

Property owners in Shepshed should select an installation site with minimal obstructions vertically and around the horizon.

For property owners in Shepshed, confirming the feasibility for mounting the dish and ensuring a secure, unimpeded location are primary concerns. The property's characteristics in LE12 9 dictate the most advantageous setup for a reliable Starlink Installation connection.
