Direct to home satellite TV requires a satellite receiver box, Low Noise Block downconverter (box on the nose of the dish) and the dish along with connecting cable and a subscription to authorize the dish.

An antenna might be added to the satellite dish to receive either local analog or digital channels. And the reception of these signals would depend on the capability of the satellite receiver or your TV.

Antennas for local channels are added in places where the satellite company cannot authorize local channels or in places where not all local channels are carried on the satellite.

If the dish can’t point to the source then it isn’t going to work.

When an association gives you little option on mounting a satellite dish then the technician has fewer options too.
Therefore, the only options that you might consider is if you can only mount a dish on a back patio.

You can try to see if can get a long pole mount to get the shot over the building. It must be very secure. Most reputable techs won’t go over 5 ft. for tipping hazards (indep. contractors’ might).
But don’t bother if you live in a first floor trying to shot over a two story building.

One more farther out option is to possibly set the dish indoors. I have actually seen this one time where a guy really…I mean really wanted his satellite TV. Had some mounting issues so they set it up inside a second story room to get the shot through a window. But I must say that if you think a satellite dish hanging off your house is ugly try one indoors. But it worked and that guy still has his HD channels.

Good luck.
