I live in a protected property and they wont let me put up a dish for Sky
TV. I dont want to go NTL, so can you tell me if there is anyway of getting
Sky?

Do you mean a conservation area? I am in a conservation area too. Contact
your local town hall and ask for planning permission and construction
leaflets. It says that you are allowed a dish up to 90cm in diameter.

Put the dish in the garden? As long as it has an unobscured view of the sky
(and won't be blocked by plants) it can be at or close to ground level.

But beware having it right at ground level, cats tend to find it a nice warm
sunny spot and curl up on the ground inside the dish - it doesn't do too
much good for the signal. No problem if you are there to chase it off, but
rather annoying if you set your video for an automatic recording!!

Last week on a nice sunny day I lost the signal completely, when I looked
out at the dish a starling was sitting on the LNB arm preening itself,
where's the cat when it's needed? :-)
