No special antenna that looks very unwieldy is required, to have a Satellite TV Service. All you need to have is the license to beam the channels from the satellite directly to your home and of course a satellite service receiver. There are two ways you can do this. Either you can directly access the  satellite tv service  or you can go through an agent who is able to receive quite a few channels and hence be able to give you a choice. It is necessary to check out all the details before paying up any money that is required.
