Not sure about one or 2, but three is easy, YES there are lots of freestanding dish tripod setups thst will work just fine. Cheapest is to search places like solidsignal.com on line, pick the setup you think wiwill work best and buy it. They do take some getting used to as far as setup is concerned, but once learned its fairly simple. There are smart phone apps like dishpointer pro that will help you pinpoint the best place to setup. I know of a couple of hosts that hire a local Dish contractor to come and set it up for them. Would be worth hiring one the first time or two and let them show you the proper way to setup.
