A wireless access point with directional antenna pointed at you for the neighbor, wired to his network, and a wireless Ethernet client bridge with directional antenna pointed at the neighbor for you. If you want your own wireless, then you'll also need a wireless access point wired to your wireless Ethernet client bridge.
If the antenna is on a water tower, it's quite obvious it's not on a satellite, unless of course the water tower is orbiting earth. This kind of question will bring answers from lawyers and other trying to deceive you. I would read a basic text on wireless. A 15 dollar PCI card, a cantenna and a bit of cable and maybe a sniffer (wireshark ) and a cracker (airdump-ng) and you will understand things better. []'s
