Satellite Dish Placement
You may be wondering
where to place your new satellite dish. For most people, this
is a no-brainer. The satellite tv installation technician will
survey your property in order to decide the best placement. He
or she will be looking at a variety of factors in order to decide
where to install your satellite dish.
In general, what is
needed is a clear view of the southern sky. This is where the
geostationary satellites are located in the sky. The survey will
also take a look at any obstacles that may end up blocking the
line of site between the satellites and the dish.
Another concern about
dish placement is the rules that are sometimes found in the CCR's
of some of the master planned communities. There could be restrictions
that have been set in place by landlords and community associations.
The current laws are
in your favor if you are looking to install a satellite tv dish
on your property.
The FCC states that
community associations, governments, and landlords can not "impair
installation, maintenance, or use of" satellite dishes. They go
on to say that community associations, governments, and landlords
can not require a fee to allow installation or significantly delay
installation through a lengthy approval process.
There are some restrictions
and special circumstances so if you are concerned about this then
it would probably be a good idea to visit the FCC site in order
to get all the details or to file a complaint against your community
association, government or landlord.
