I've got two dishes attached to the side of the house. One can be reached with the broom out a window, the other you just have to pray and wait. Fortunately, nothing has stuck well enough to cause signal issues - yet.

The HDCP on HDMI is easily disabled by connecting a device that doesn't support it. I use the Hauppauge Colossus for my HD recording from a 222k. From what I heard, it doesn't work on premium movie/PPV channels.
