    Can you not just use an off set bracket ? http://www.tradeworks.tv/acatalog/Heavy_Duty_Swan_Neck_Mast.html

    Seems to me the obvious answer is to fit a multioutput lnb and save the trouble of two dishes,both of which are ugly. Many chimney stacks are simply held together by gravity as the mortar has long since failed.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Thank you for all the replies.

    I didnt realise that my posted read as agitated. Thats the problem with rushing I think ;-)

    Unfortunately my dish has to go on the chimney stack and due to the placement of the neighbours I cant get mine on. There just isnt the room above or below without a highly inappropriate bracket.

    I fully expect the neighbor not to be aware and put the blame on the original installer whenever it was done. I dont think the neighbour will have even thought about it/noticed it. Its not as if you would deliberately ask for it to be done that way.

    Neighbors seam nice though so hopefully positive outcome. Typical trade of between needing something and not wanting to agitate people.

    Cheers once again.

    So even if they move it back, does that mean the only place you can put yours will be right in front of theirs, and cut off their reception?

    Nah. I should have said there isnt room to put it above or below with their dish where it is. There will be plenty of room once it has been moved to off centre.

    Shouldn't be a problem with a polite question about just moving theirs up or down, so long as they can watch Sky later.
