If you put a few hanging baskets on the wall, they see hanging baskets. If you cover one of them with a plastic bag, they know there's a hanging basket inside it. If they ask why there's a bag over it, just tell them you are growing herbs or mushrooms or something that needs to be "forced" for a while in darkness. Or it's an orchid that doesn't like bright sun. Pretty soon they lose interest and you can replace the basket with a minidish. It's still hidden by the bag and, provided you hide the cable, nobody will know. You can even trail some leaves down from the bag from a small plant pot behind the dish! A dish doesn't need to be high up, provided it can "see" the satellite. It could be at ground level or hidden in a ridge between adjoining roofs. You can paint the dish or cover it with a bag and paint the bag. Just spray it with an aerosol of car paint. Or build a wooden box around it. A dish will even work upside-down. For more ideas about disguising your dish, read our eBook "Installing Sky Digital TV & Freesat" - see below. Can you supply a XXX colour dish? No, we act as factors to arrange shipping from several trade warehouses, and we don't have the facilities to check on what colour dish they have in stock, so they will always send whatever they have. However, this shouldn't matter because we strongly recommend that you paint your dish to protect it from weather. What type of Dish Paint? Any outdoor paint suitable for metal will do. It's best to use a matt paint because: 1. Gloss paint reflects light and your dish could be annoying to neighbours if it reflects light like a mirror. 2. A large dish can concentrate the sun's heat on the LNB and melt the plastic at certain times of day/year. What Colour? A light colour may be best. Black objects absorb heat more quickly and this might cause the dish to distort. How Thick? As thick as you like. The paint thickness will have no effect on the signal. Bear in mind that some dishes are made by compressing wire mesh between sheets of plastic, or embedding mesh in layers of fibreglass and resin. Can I paint the LNB? Yes. You can even put a very thin coat of paint on the cap of the horn but make sure that the paint contains no metal powder or flake. Can I paint the Cable? We strongly recommend that you paint the coaxial cable, since the paint will give protection against Ultraviolet light and moisture. Do you stock Dish Paint? No. ©2007-2012 SatCure  Send this page address - CLICK HERE - to a friend !
