I think I can get it on an S pole at the back of the garage which is set back halfway into the garden. I won't even see it from the house then but will need to be clever routing the cables back to the house as the garage is detached from the house. | |

There's a few houses that I deliver to that have the dish at ground level in their front garden too, and if you're facing a golf course, I'm assuming it's a fairly nice area so shouldnt have to worry about chavs breaking it. | |

Funny you should say that about moving the dish to the garden! It's my last shot before I go with BT Vision. | |

Fair enough mate. Shame you can't put the worries on them with much legal bluff and bluster. | |

I'm a solicitor mate. They're not subject to a tree preservation order. It's not quite a simple as you make out and there's certainly no right to a line of sight for a sky dish. | |

You spoke to citizens advice? Unless they're protected trees and they're causing you and others issues I'm pretty sure you could make them sort it out or contribute towards alternative arrangements. | |

They won't budge as it would set a precedent. There's at least 10 houses facing the golf course. | |

Pretty sure if you complain enough they'd have to cut them down at their expense.. | |

The golf course is private and not council owned. They've said I can cut the trees but I'd have to pay for it myself. I'd cut them myself one night but they are huge and I'd probably kill myself. I'd say they are at least 100 foot high. Easily twice as big as the house. | |

73 pounds a month. Fuck me. That's ridiculous! | |

At the moment I pay about £36 for my landline, fibre optic and the basic free view package with a youview box with talktalk. I think I can add sky sports for £30. So would work out slightly cheaper for you? Might be worth exploring? | |

Complain to the council. If that was a private residence and their trees were causing obstructio for any reason they'd have to cut them down. We used to have big fuckers in the back garden that probably ended up higher than the house and then a neighbour 6 houses away complained and we had to get them cut | |

My Mum has BT Vision, never appears to have any problems. | |

I live facing a golf course which obviously has lots of large trees. The line of site for a sky dish is blocked and I have had a quote of nearly £400 to prune the tree line to enable me to get line of site for a dish. Problem is I'd probably have to have the tree line pruned every couple of years when the trees grow. |
