I personally like my Sunday games on satellite too, but I also manage apartments and we are on of those landlords that don’t like dishes hanging on walls all over the place. Most of the professionally managed properties discourage it, but if you go to an older or smaller property, they may allow it. One great option, though it hurts my business, is just to go rent a foreclosed home – they are almost as cheap as apartments now. Good luck and enjoy the game!

I would love to have Direct TV in my apartments but their service is not available. But you are right about the check the FCC website

The writer of the article is not being truthful in all aspects. The FCC rulings are great as everyone knows where they stand. However certain companies installing dishes do not stick to the FCC Ruling nor do they tell their customers the rules, rather they leave it up to the owners to tell the customers. Very few, if any, owners of apartments will allow dishes in roofs or out in common property. Why? It means cabling needs to be run all over, imagine the roof with 23 or 30 dishes inside or even on the outside, all people will get access to roof space with its safety and privacy issues. Lets say someone falls off the roof, falls through the ceiling into someones apartment, puts in peepholes to someones apartment, falls over cabling on the ground, the dish falls off on someone head and the list goe on – who would be sued?? The owners of course have the biggest pocket. If I was an owner I would not allow it wither.

Some people say moving house is one of the most stressful things a person can do. I guess even helping family move house can be stressful without Direct TV.

Although this is a great article, unfortunately i didn’t find the solution for my problem.
I signed up for Direct TV last week, and when the technicians came in,they said that its impossible to install the dish in my apartment because it was facing north!
They suggested to install it in the roof although it will take alot of wiring, but the management of my building said no to that!
I will miss most of the European soccer season because of that!
I hope they make dishes that can go through buildings soon, at least before i switch my apartment after my lease is up!

This is good info on fighting with your local HOA for Direct TV. I had to battle them for five months, but finally with a little help from my local FCC office, I was able to get Direct TV installed at my condo. My husband will be so happy when Sunday Ticket time rolls around!

Your local cable company has a monopoly on your business. It also controls what channels you get.

It’s unfair and should be illegal.

I heard an add this morning on the radio for $10 a month service and movie channels for $1 a month with one of the satellite companies. Guess times are getting tough for all

response to michael–people object to a “small” satellite because when they are installed all over the property, hither and yon on balconies and patio fences, on poles in flower beds, etc. the place looks trashy.
