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?

See http://www.satlex.net/en/triax-page_1.html

There is a limit as to how wide a span you can get with a single dish.

An offset arm on the boom of the dish allows multiple LNBs at different
radial positions.

With a fixed dish, that allows the on-beam sat to shine onto the primary
LNB, and off-beam sats to shine onto the offset LNBs, if the offsets are
calculated carefully.

This will only work if the different sats are all fairly close together.
You can't go off-beam by more more than a few degrees with a fixed dish.

That is how it works, for viewing two different satellites that are
near each other. What you can't do is fit two LNBs so that they can
both see the same satellite. B-) You get around that with an LNB
with multiple outputs, you can get up to eight but that would be a
heck of a bundle of cables. Better to fit a quattro LNB(*) and
multiswitch.

(*) Or a normal quad LNB if the multiswitch can drive it properly.

Well its not a problem that I care about.
ARW is a weird type that has strange morals, more like the morals of a
criminal.
Reporting crimes against people isn't grassing whatever ARW thinks.
Reporting planning infringements that don't have a direct effect is a waste
of time, let the person that cares do it.
Anyway I have two dishes up. One with a faulty LNB that I just can't get too
without effort and a new one that's in an easier place.

They are out of date anyway, you really do need sky, freeview, dab and FM as
well as the external WiFi.

Not sure, but have you considered multiple LNB's on a single dish? They
don't even need to point to the same satellites, I have a 60CM dish with
a quadLNB for usual FreeSat reception, with a single LNB pointed at Astra
19 degrees so I can pickup F1 from those nice German people at RTL.

I watch almost nothing live, watch everything from recorded, so
I can skip over the ads, even on the national govt broadcasters

evening TV news and even then only till the sport starts.

I don't watch a lot, most evenings only an hour or at most
two and that almost always just a decent in depth doco.

I temporarily took it down a couple of years ago, haven't

I'd certainly miss some source of what I do choose to watch.

Tho I do read a lot as well.

I also download the best stuff from our national govt radio system,
and listen to it on the phone when walking for exercise. Usually about
1:30-2 hours a session, too boring without something to listen to.

last time I looked at satellite dishes and PP:

you are allowed up to two satellite dishes, one being up to 1.0m and the
other up to 60cm diameter provided you do not live in an AONB "area of
natural outstanding beauty" or other picturesque surroundings.

The other main restriction is related to leasehold properties where the
landlord(s) have the "right" to impose their own restrictions on the
leaseholders.

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)

The TV is a log periodic, far more discreet than the 175 element digital
bling most seem to have, the DAB is vertical and relatively close to the
mast, the FM is the largest and now practically unused, dish is low down
and set back over the garage roof, it and its brackets all sprayed with
matt plastikote, no cables visible.

I think conservation areas are themost problematical also it depends on
what point on the house they have to be according to our council. However I
think there is certainly a size limit as well.
