Feel stuck with cable because your homeowner’s covenants prevent you from getting a satellite dish? Mad at your landlord who won’t allow you to get a satellite dish?
It turns out that homeowner’s covenants that forbid you from installing satellite dishes are almost always illegal. Read the FCC rules and tell that homeowner’s association control freak to stuff it.
Renters, still read those FCC rules and you’ll find more often than not your landlord cannot block you from getting a satellite dish.

um yeah but why?
Unfortunatly, most apartments still don’t allow satellite. However, your stuffy homeowner’s association shouldn’t be a problem. And if you live in a stuffy enough place to have a homeowner’s association, I pity you.
I used to work for DirecTV, so I know there are always ways around such rules.
I don’t miss TV though. I’ve been without for about 6 months now and I couldn’t be happier. It’s called the boob-tube for a reason … and it’s not because of Janet Jackson
Thanks that made me laugh Jeremy.
No, no stuffy place for me with HA overlords.
In response to Anon, I think asking why this is an issue, they probably don’t know lots of HA’s and landlords will try to block tenants from getting satellite dishes installed.
Lots of people don’t realize the dishes can’t be blocked most of the time. Just thought I’d throw this out for the public knowledge.
The problem is the rules you point to say that the tenant must have exclusive use or control of an area to be allowed to install a satellite dish. As such very few tenants can make use of these rules.
