[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"] Is there wording to this somewhere that I can reference?[/quote] Just go to the FCC (as in Federal Communications Commission) website at www.fcc.gov and do a search. Here's the first paragraph from their page on this: "In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules for Over-the-Air-Reception Devices (“OTARD” rules). The OTARD rules prohibit restrictions on a property owner or tenant’s right to install, maintain, or use an antenna to receive video programming from direct broadcast satellites (DBS), broadband radio services (formerly referred to as multichannel multipoint distribution services or MMDS), and television broadcast stations (TVBS)." The fine print says there can be certain exceptions made when it is a matter of public safety or to "preserve an historical" district. But even then it is not a given -- a town would have to prove their case. So if you live in certain homes on main street and you wanted this visible on the front of your house, you might have an issue. If you don't, you're set.[/quote]

It's actually been a federal law for the last 12 years or so that a person cannot be forbidden from installation of the type of small satellite dishes used by DirecTV and Dish TV.

A community trying to prevent this can actually be sued and pay punitive damages if they try... <br /> <br />So feel free to put it up.

I was curious about the pricing for DirectTV/Dish service. If the price is good, I might switch. <br /> <br />I don't use Comcast's cable box/card, so every now and then I need to rescan the channels because Comcast switches some HD channels around. <br /> <br />The other day, I tuned to PBS-HD (channel 13-1) (my most watched HD channel) and it was gone! It took me a while to figure out that Comcast switched the signal to channel 116-1. <br /> <br />Since I don't have the more expensive services and don't use their cable box/card, Comcast did not even send a notice of change out!</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
