Jethro presented the following explanation :
Hi All,

If I wanted to get Freesat, is installing the dish a task for a fairly
competent DIYer. Any hints or tips ? Is alignment a problem ?

Perfectly easy, providing you get it onto a suitable wall to enable it
to 'see' the sat(s) you want to receive. Height makes no difference
providing it has sight of the sat, even ground mounting will work -
despite Sky installers seeming to mount them as high as possible. My
dish is 6 feet up from the ground and quite well hidden.
