Purely from a looks viewpoint it may help us get around our no dishes
or external aerials problem.

Probably completely wrong but didn't European courts decide that such bans
were illegal. You have a *right* to access satellite signals.

Apart from the legal/rights/conservation area/covenants issue we would
not really want to install a standard satellite dish that did not
blend with its surroundings. The property is in a woodland area with
adjacent public pathways.

We have relied on Freeview ever since we moved here but the trees
between us and the transmitter are still growing and the signal now
breaks up whenever we are on the receiving end of anything more than a
strong breeze, causing reception problems.

Luckily there is a tree free 'window' between 15 and 40 degrees east
of south of the property which could theoretically allow for Freesat
reception.

Could you not put the dish at ground level and disguise/hide it
from passing eyes?

Unfortunately the SSE facing 'window' is only available at a height of
2 metres.

I've seen more then the one dish fitted to listed buildings and the like
but they have been done very well and very carefully so as not to be
noticed. The average sky installer just wouldn't have the time to
spare;!...
