Stupid Satellite Question

Is it possible to use a satellite dish indoors? I live in an apartment complex but we're not allowed dishes on the balconies and getting a communal dish seems to be a non-runner. My balcony runs along the entire length of my living room so I was wondering if I'd somehow be able to use a satellite dish indoors facing the window or something?

I'd really like to get BBC Red Button access but Magnet don't provide that and I can't switch to Sky or any other provider due to exclusivity and such.

Just wondering if I could somehow get FreeSat or FTA or something by using an internal aerial or dish?

Sorry for the stupid questions

Cheers, although it seems my apartment is facing in the wrong direction. I checked that dishpointer site and the line goes straight through the back of my apartment block and I'm at the front of the building so I don't think I can get a signal.

If you don't have line-of-sight from a south-facing view, there is nothing you can do. Other than approach the apartment management again and see if they will install a communal dish setup.
