[Closed] any way to improve freesat reception through trees?

My neighbour has selfishly located some great big oak trees directly in line with where our satellite dish needs to point to receive FreeSat HD.

Short of sneaking across with a chainsaw, is there anything that can be done to boost reception? E.g. an amplifier or a larger dish? Or could the dish be mounted on the chimney?

What you need there is a pole and some longer wire.

You need to move the dish.

A bigger dish might work short term but as the trees grow and get denser it'll fail again.
