Most satellite TV dishes are ugly and look like this:
But they don't have to. You can now buy a "SQUISH, which blends in with your brickwork, or other wall surface, and is less likely to offend your neighbours.
The chameleon-like 'SQUISH' hides itself from view thanks to a sticker designed from a digital photo image.
Whereas conventional dishes are round, concave and black or grey, the 'SQUISH' is a flat square, giving it its name.
Buyers decide where they want the receiver placed on their house, take a photograph of the surrounding wall and the 'SQUISH' is then supplied to match its background.
The 'SQUISH' has just arrived on the UK market and, according to those trying to sell it, it is already being ordered by homeowners who live in conservation areas which have planning restrictions.
It also appeals to those who live in areas where satellite dishes are thought to lower the tone. This phenomenon is described by the SQUISH'S suppliers as dish stigma.
Phil Millington, of UK stockist The Satellite Shop in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, declared: The SQUISH is a discreet alternative to a satellite dish and can be used to receive Sky and Freesat in the UK. It can be camouflaged to help it blend into its surroundings with the addition of a bespoke sticker created from a digital photo.
It can also be used in areas sensitive to planning restrictions or dish stigma and in coastal towns where dishes are prone to rust because it is made from plastic.'
The 'SQUISH' costs £149 and an extra £25 for the matt-finish camouflage sticker.
