I need to install an 800mm satellite dish without the end result

Had you considered motorising the present one?

The present one is in a position between two houses which makes it
impossible to see the other satellite except if I moved it forward
quite a bit, which would invalidate the plannig permission. I'm
trying to avoid having to reapply.

Which birds are you trying to see?

Could you get away with a smaller dish for one of them?

I'm sure that Tele-Satellite magazine had a review of a dish in a
radome (I think it was a specially shaped dish inside, of 40cm which
was claimed to be equivalent to a 60cm).

These were intended for countries with censorship of what you are
allowed to receive and were reckoned to be reasonable if the signal
strength was OK..

I couldn't find the review, but while looking did spot this....
