Once upon a time Ulrich Petri shaped the electrons to say...

Most people forgets, that the dishes are "offset antennas".
That means:
One can place the dish horizotal(!) on a balkony like a desk...
Viewn from street such a dish is often unvisble!

Ok, you need to drill a small whole n the dish for the rain,
and snow might make more work.

When you use a flat anntenna horizontal (i assune that those
have an offset too?) nobody would realize that this a a sat anntenna.
Of cause no whole is needed for the rain :-)


Anyway: The next time i move, I would move only to a 
house were dishes are allowed, or are at least "central"!




But attention:
In some areas the one and only cable company it trying to 
abuse it's monopole and the comunity/local administrations forbits
any sat-receiption! Poor guys.
