[QUOTE="DavidW, post: 68393, member: 180532"] I am just about to install a dish at my new house and am interested in RolfW's drawing. Planning regulations state that the dish must not be higher than the highest point of the roof but in your drawing the dish itself is still above the roof. I have the same problem as Longstockings. In my case the arrow in his picture, if you look at my house, is pointing South. My house is semi-detached so the only way to get a South facing dish is to point it over the roof. ie. If it is on the West side I cannot receive the far eastern satellites and vice versa. Checking the sun at and just after the recent equinox there is a clear view from the apex of my house to all satellites from 70° East to 70° West. This would be wonderful, at my last house I could get only 60° East to 45° West. Does this mean that the only way I can get what I would like is to obtain planning permission or, if I interpret your drawing correctly, can I get away with the mount below the rooftop but the dish peeping over? I do not have a problem with the other two bugbears of planning regulations: the dish will not exceed 90cm and it will be the only one. I could, of course, try the old trick of chatting up the neighbours but it would just be my luck that a member of the local planning department happens to walk past my house on an off day. [/QUOTE]
