Re: This part is so true. The FCC says a HOA cannot prevent you from putting up a dish, despite what your HOA states.

Also, if U-Verse is coming your way, no VRAD is installed on your property or the Association's property. A VRAD is installed adjacent to the current Phone Company Cross Connect Box which already exists on public right-of-way. |

| I know all about that rule, and even quoted it to the HOA. They then told me that "any external structure such as antenna masts or dish poles needed to be approved by the HOA and the village, and good luck getting the village to approve it".
Apparently they dont want things up in the air to contaminate the 'rustic look' of the area...

| According to the FCC, as long as the mast is no more than 12 feet tall, and it is erected from "your" area/space (ie a balcony or patio), there is nothing the HOA and/or Village can do to prevent it legally. If the dish would have to be mounted from a common space, then the HOA can prevent it. |

| Read the rules. You can go above the roof line as defined in the law and THEY have to petition the FCC to have it removed, not you.
HOA's are generally on a power trip, especially when you get new leaders/members that want to change the world and force their ideas on it's members. |

| the FCC doesn't make laws. They make "rules". |

1 edit | Regardless, you can put up the device per the rules and it is on them to petition the FCC to have it removed. |
