Default 2 satellite dishes on one house?

Do you use any of them to attack or intimidate others?


Err not exactly, but I hadn't seen antennae and dishes lumped together
for the maximum count of two, did previous planning guides state
explicitly only one dish without permission? I thought the problem used
to be flats where one occupant installed a dish, effectively blocking
the other occupants from having their own?

As John says, there's not much need for more than one dish anyway, a
quad or octo LNB on 28.2E and perhaps another LNB on 19.2E to get pick
up F1, or a motorised one if you want "the lot", why would someone
choose multiple dishes?


One answer to that would be "sky installers"... Someone I know go one to
install a new feed into their bedroom. Rather that hook up a pair of
cables to the exiting quad LNB that had 2 spare outputs and run 15m of
coax, they installed a new dish just round the corner on the same
building! (although first probably was 10' up - so higher than many will
dare to climb)
