Obtaining Neighbour's Title Deeds?

As said the answer is simple. Take a long stick and just poke the dish gently, it only needs to move a few inches and the signal will be lost.

Also call Sky and tell them you are very unhappy their engineer accessed your premises, and get them to note this on their records.

Should that be ignored,and someone comes roudn to fix it when you are out, just poke it again to move it out of alignment.

It wont take long for them to get fed up having no TV, nor indeed for Sky to refuse to keep visiting to fix it.

Bear in mind that it might not be 'poke-able,' at least with reasonable force.

I dare say new dishes are more easily moved than older rusted ones, but mine sits in the teeth of 70mph gales and it's never moved a centimetre.

OP describes neighbours house as being newly-built as well - so I'm guessing it's also a brand new dish. Hopefully - it should be quite readily poke-able then.

Just be careful there's no CCTV around that might catch your poking... that's a good way to end up with a criminal damage accusation.

I seem to recall it's illegal to film a neighbours garden. So - they might be doing it - but I don't think they could use any clips of what they'd seen there as evidence.

I'm surprised that only one contributor has suggested contacting Sky, as it is their employee who trespassed and chose the location of the dish.

Following the slow reveal, which eventually gave us the full picture, I think some may have decided that it's all a bit late for rationality now.

We are currently into poking the thing with sticks.......Why interrupt the fun with a call to the people who chose the site?

Why would that matter, even if its true? The dish is in their garden.

Well it would appear that the logical order of priority to get things sorted out now would be:

- contact Sky (going higher up the pecking order there if need be) and tell them to stop their property trespassing on your land. I'd give benefit of the doubt to them that maybe the neighbour lied to them and said OP had given permission for the trespass and make it very clear I had not given any such permission. I'd probably give them a fortnight deadline by which it must be gone.

If that doesnt work - then it's Plan B (ie poking the dish into a different direction).

I think safer to work on the assumption that the dish is their customer's property - I don't think Sky ever come back to collect their dishes.
