In looking at Satellite TVRO systems and talking with dealers, there are
disguise kits available to hide the disk so that it looks like something else.
Two I remember are an outdoor table and chair set with a large umbrella that
covers the dish, and an artificial rock garden grouping with the largest 
one covering the dish.  The pictures I saw looked very nice.
