Questions
- Do I need permission to put up a satellite dish?
- Usually not for one small dish on a house. Conservation areas, listed buildings, flats and dishes facing a road can have stricter rules; check with your council or landlord first.
- Is Freesat being switched off with Freeview?
- The government's Green Paper covers both: TV through an aerial or a dish would move to broadband. No decision has been made.
