That was interesting. I am part of a townhome association and looked at
your FCC reference. Only part of the above is true.
They cannot ban DSS dishes, but you can only mount them IF you can get a
clear view from a dish that is mounted ENTIRELY within an area reserved for
your private use. You can mount the dish on a deck or patio, but it can not
hang over an edge or be mounted on any common property.
There is a difference between having a right to mount a dish to your condo
and being able to mount it within the limitations in the law.
This restriction in the mounting area will block off the use of it by a
large majority of apartment/condo dwellers and many townhome dwellers. This
is commented on in the fact sheet put out by the FCC.
I would need a 25-30 foot mast to get a clear view of a satellite from my
deck.
