If you are in Scandinavia, the GPS birds will not spend much time (if 
any?) to the north of you. Slide 12 of 
http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ecalais/teaching/geodesy/Satellite_orbits.pdf
suggests that the most northerly orbital point is at the latitude of 
Denmark.

Attach a boom, pointing southwards, to the mast at a _convenient point_ 
and mount your GPS antenna at the end of the boom. The boom is to take 
the GPS antenna out of the shadow of the TV antenna (but if the TV 
antenna is actually pointing south the boom may need to be quite long).

(Hiring an antenna rigger still seems the best solution)
