Management company won't allow Sky in apt block-any options?

    Hi there, I live in an apt. We constantly get leaflets from Sky to sign up and after the recent price hike from UPC and the fact that it's a crap enough service, we decided to make the switch to Sky. Unfortunately we were told that the management company of our apt block do not allow communal dishes on the property and do not allow installation of personal dishes either.

    In effect, the management company will not allow Sky in the building.

    Has anyone had any experience of this and just wondering is there anything to be done? Paying almost €2k a year in mgmt fees so extremely frustrating to be told what tv provider we can and cannot have.
    Appreciate any help anyone has

    Thanks

    If you are lucky enough to have a balcony facing the correct direction you can put a dish out of sight and not wall mount it.

    I heard an ad on the radio for sky tv in apartments without a dish recently but I can't remember any of the specifics (helpful, I know! but it stuck with me because after years of renting apartments and wanting sky, they have brought it out when I'm just about to move into my own house) I did a quick google there and they seem to do it in the UK without a dish, and their Irish website says its easy to get in an apartment but doesn't give specifics, give them a call and see!
