Can a satellite dish be put in an attic like a broadcast antenna?

No, not really. The satellite signals are much weaker than broadcast signals and they will not make it through solid objects such as a roof.
You can get the antenna installed completely free if you shop around, and federal law allows you to put the antenna up, invalidating most local ordinances and covenants restricting them. If you are a renter, you can't make a permanent modification to the property (like drilling holes for the antenna) without permission of the owner.
Renters have had some success positioning the antenna in a window with a clear view of the southern sky but that is only for the desperate.

Satellite television requires the installation of a satellite dish which receives the television signal from satellites orbiting the earth. Regular television uses antenna to pick up signal from broadcasting towers. Satellite television typically offers more channels and program options than regular television.
What is a spherical dish antenna required for satellite tv reception?
The parabolic antenna is really not an antenna at all - but a collector/reflector, which catches and concentrates RF (radio frequency) into a tiny antenna mounted above the dish, pointed into the dish. Since satellites transmit at very high frequencies (microwave), the actual antenna can be shorter than one inch. To strenghen the signal and make aiming the antenna at the satellite easier, the parabolic reflector picks up a wider area of RF.

Does satellite radio work in inclement weather?
People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.
Can dish be connected in a moving car?
Yes you can. But you cannot use it. A dish antenna works in sync with the satellite. A dish antenna is positioned accurately (almost) based on the position of satellites. So when you turn the base of the dish antenna in another direction, the dish has to be repositioned. That's not possible on a 'moving' car. But if you have a caravan to halt and take rest, you can make use it. But you need to know which way to rotate the dish.
