    Are there any? I know there's sky but I live in an apartment block and we're not allowed to put a dish up. Im just at my wits end with them

    You could perhaps look into something like Selfsat-H10D for freesat channels.
    See here:

    I have no idea how good they are, but worth checking out. Perhaps someone else on this forum has one.

    The dish he mentioned doesn't look like a dish and is designed for people who aren't aloud put dishes up.

    Did you look at it? I'm not allowed put a dish up but I'm considering one of these. No one would know it is there.

    I guess it depends on your definition of a dish. Certainly it is not shaped like a dish, but the term "flat dish" is used to categorise them. They look more like an alarm box. There are other types that work on the inside of a window, but obviously you would need favourable positioning relative to the wanted satellite. Search the satellite forum, they have been discussed before.

    Bear in the mind the quality and channels will probably be restricted compared to a standard dish.
