Installing a Satellite TV dish

Reputable dish tv installers should have agreed standards for their work, in some cases guaranteed by their company; they should also be covered by Public Liability and Employer's Liability insurance. Suppliers and installers should be familiar with the planning and environmental aspects of dish TV installation.

Check whether you need planning permission, listed building consent or owner's/ landlord's consent. It is your responsibility for seeking, or not seeking, planning permission. If required, planning permission should be granted before installation. Don't forget that you are responsible for having it installed; poor sitting may lead the council to require you to re-site the dish at your own expense.
Check if there are other legal requirements you have to consider when installing a dish. Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the appropriate sitting of satellite dishes; if you have any doubt, contact the planning department of your local council or seek independent professional advice.
Don't allow a dish to be installed without first finding out whether or not you need planning permission or listed building consent.
Use reputable and authorized suppliers and installers.
Select a dish no larger than the minimum required for good reception.
Site the dish in an inconspicuous place, preferably where your neighbors and the public cannot see it.
Avoid breaking the skyline with the dish and, whenever possible don't site it in front of the house.
Select a dish that blends in with its chosen background.

In coming to a decision on the selection and sitting of a dish, you should take account of its impact on the neighbors , the public , the environment. The retailer or installer may be able to advise you on these matters, but if there is any doubt, then you should contact your local planning department.

It is in your best interest to ensure the proper selection, sitting and appearance of your dish from the beginning.
