New Build and am not allowed my satellite dish. Now what as I want to record television

[Hettema]

I am in desperate need to get clarification on how can I get Sky Q so that the dish is not visible from the outside.  I am in a new build.

If you're not allowed a dish then you can't have Sky Q.

@Hettema  the only way I can think of is to mount the dish onto a pole in the back garden assuming you have a garden pointing in the same direction as the front of house

My garden is behind the house.  Apparently, I would need to have it on top of my roof with an arm extender.Not sure how great this would be.

hi @Hettema 

Have you spoken to the builders/ housing management to see if they possibly have set up a communal feed to the property. 

I know most probably do not but I think some that do have such retrictions have provided houses with a communal feed alongside  other fibre services 

[Hettema]

I presume that they do not as they state that Sky must put it in the loft like other houses.  Somehow, I do not think that is possible.  Am i incorrect?

Terrestrial aerials work in lofts, satellite dishes do not.

Q needs a dish or a feed from as such (there are various communal methods but it would seem not to apply here).

@Hettema   If your garden is large enough you might be able to have a local satellite specialist engineer install a satellite dish on a pole looking over your roofline to the Astra 28.2 East satellite cluster.

@Hettema 

You are not incorrect. 

the very weak signals reaching the earth from approx 2200 miles above the equator struggle to get through Tree foliage so any Roof material is a none starter.

It is amazing what advice can be given - but then again the people who come up with such regulations seem more bothered about Architectual aesthetics rather than customers needs
