    Do Sky still need to erect a satellite for installing tv? The place I am living do not allow dishes to be erected which will be a nightmare in terms of getting sky in. They want us to get UPC instead.

    Yes sky need to install a dish to enable you to get their tv services.If you are in an apartment with a south facing balcony you might be able to get the dish tripod mounted.

    Does the balcony/window face south east?
    Has anyone else got dishes on the south east side of the building?

    If your balcony faces south east you can get hidden dishes. these are expensive but do work and can be totally hidden.

    There are loads of old threads on this:

    I have seen one recently that looks like a garden light. Just be aware many of these are slightly small. For Ireland you normally need to seek out the slightly larger model, as Sky's signal is weaker in Ireland:

    Another thing to note is that the 20 most watched channels are now all available for free, so not essential to pay Sky for most popular channels.
