Indoor dish installation: fact or myth?

Hello,

I am a newly arrived Canadian researcher in Leipzig, Germany, and I am exploring various possibilities to get English speaking television here, via satellite.

Currently, I am staying at a university residence, and it is unlikely that I will be granted permission to install a dish outside. There is no balcony to speak of, but there is a metal railing to which a dish might be affixed... However, given that I am scheduled to vacate the apartment in 3 months, structural changes required to affix a dish are probably out of the question. This leaves me with the prospect of having my dish indoors for the next 3 months, until I move to another apartment. I saw on Internet that some people managed to leave the dish indoor, point it at their satellite of choice, and were successful at getting a television signal.

What are my prospects for doing this in Germany? Moreover, is my only option GermanSky, or is there another (cheaper) option?

Please advise.
