Sorry you don't understand. The landlady doesn't own the property upstairs - only the property we rent. However Sky said they won't connect to an existing dish (wouldn't have expected them to) so looks like we are stuck with Virgin or Virgin. This is a real shame because after having Sky + - I'm not sure how we'll cope without it!!! And we certainly can't afford to pay £75 and £5 a month for a box just for the privilidge!

Ahh...get you now.

a dish doesn't have to be on the wall of a house.

Friend was refused permission to put a dish on the house wall because they lived in a place that did not allow it. So they put it on the side of their shed. Within a day they were told to take it down by the landlord, not a private landlord.

Make me, he said. It is still there 6 months later.

vague so that he cannot be identified

I've seen dishes fitted to tree's,garden walls & I even fitted one on a 6ft pole cemented into the garden grass (was for a mobile home)

when sky first came out back in the day my parents asked the council if we could have a dish on the side of their old flat. They said no, so dad got a concrete paving slab, some scaffolding and constructed a little tripod for the dish to sit on outside on the balcony.....worked a treat!
