hi @rowhedge
As you know the SKY dish must have a clear line of sight of the dish but tree growth can be problematical.
Unfortunately, I don't think you have any rights to a clear view of the Satellite.
When it comes trees I think the only laws are probably regarding Safety & a 'right of light'.
If the tree is on private land all you can do is ask the owner if they will get it trimmed back but they may not do so.
Unfortunately, you have no specific rights to cancel your subscription early due to this but if your minimum contract is due up then of course, you can cancel at that proint (but note notice period is a month)
If your broadband is good enough, maybe you could consider SKY Stream
Are you able to tell how well the engineer checked for alternative positions for the dish ?
