Stupid Satellite Question

    Is it possible to use a satellite dish indoors? I live in an apartment complex but we're not allowed dishes on the balconies and getting a communal dish seems to be a non-runner. My balcony runs along the entire length of my living room so I was wondering if I'd somehow be able to use a satellite dish indoors facing the window or something?

    I'd really like to get BBC Red Button access but Magnet don't provide that and I can't switch to Sky or any other provider due to exclusivity and such.

    Just wondering if I could somehow get FreeSat or FTA or something by using an internal aerial or dish?

    Sorry for the stupid questions :o

    Cheers, although it seems my apartment is facing in the wrong direction. I checked that dishpointer site and the line goes straight through the back of my apartment block and I'm at the front of the building so I don't think I can get a signal.

    If you don't have line-of-sight from a south-facing view, there is nothing you can do. Other than approach the apartment management again and see if they will install a communal dish setup.
