Can I get my Sky Dish moved for free?

Options
I currently have my dish installed at the front of my house but would like to get it moved to the back. Is this possible and will it cost?

Don't even mind cancelling current sub and then resubscribing at a later date if that is the only option...

It is just such and eye-sore in its current location.

    Do you understand that it has to face precisely the same direction? If it's currently on the front wall, it may be possible to mount it on a pole, on the rear wall, so it looks up the roof.

    Why not simply paint it?

    Your dish needs a 'line of sight' to the satellite so the front of your property may be the only place the dish could go, if you wanted it re-sited for asthetic reasons, then you could ask an 'indie' satellite installer to do a survey and see if its possible,
    I doubt if Sky would even consider a request to re- site a dish, even if you cancelled and re apply for service if the dish is up (and servicable) then the dish would be re-used by the sky installer, thats assuming sky agreed to re install at an address that had service in the past.
    You can buy transparent dishes that lessen the visual impact.
