“I can’t get all the channels I want in any one place without installing a dish (which local ordinance says I have to install on my deck and that ain’t gonna happen).”

That ordinance may not be valid. Since satellite broadcasting is interstate commerce, federal law overrides state or local laws and ordinances. Take a look here:

None of the exemptions work for me. They have to let me install a dish AND it can’t be overly difficult/expensive (I had the same issue come u at my last condo and I was able to install on the roof).

Since my deck has an unobstructed southern view, they can (and do) make people put it up on their decks for the most part.

I might be able to get away with a stake outside the deck but that would be just as ugly.

I have to wait for the dishes to get a lot smaller. I was looking into the RV types but they don’t have the reliability I need.

But thanks for the link.
