[Vision2020] satellite dish installation

[Ted Moffett]

Patty-

It sounds incredible, but I recall reading that landlords are regulated to
allow satellite dish installation for renters.  The FCC has power.  I don't
know what your situation is, but there are tripod dish supports that can sit
on the ground.  I saw one outside an apartment by Lilly St. just the past
week.  There are various other ways to mount a dish.  Call Dish or Directtv,
or go to their website, and they will gleefully explain the mounting options
and regs while they attempt to turn you into a video addict while emptying
your wallet.  Destroy your TV before it is too late!

*Q: What types of restrictions are prohibited?*

A: The rule prohibits restrictions that impair a person's ability to
install, maintain, or use an antenna covered by the rule. The rule applies
to state or local laws or regulations, including zoning, land-use or
building regulations, private covenants, homeowners' association rules,
condominium or cooperative association restrictions, lease restrictions, or
similar restrictions on property within the exclusive use or control of the
antenna user where the user has an ownership or leasehold interest in the
property. A restriction impairs if it: (1) unreasonably delays or prevents
use of; (2) unreasonably increases the cost of; or (3) precludes a person
from receiving or transmitting an acceptable quality signal from an antenna
covered under the rule. The rule does not prohibit legitimate safety
restrictions or restrictions designed to preserve designated or eligible
historic or prehistoric properties, provided the restriction is no more
burdensome than necessary to accomplish the safety or preservation purpose.
