The majority of people hesitate to install Directv dvr because it is against the rental contract or homeowners association. Direct TV offers top quality picture and sound as compare to Cable and if you want to enjoy such at your home despite being prohibited just read the following.
In case of any such prohibitory contract you may file a suit to annul it if you are not allowed to install a directv hd dvr dish.
Except the law no one can prevent you installing a directv receiver. Additionally, the contract can't force you to pay more when you have a TV satellite dish or in any way obstruct your reception.
The law was clarified in February of 1998 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled in a case brought by Jason Peterson. There are some requirements that needs to be fulfilled before installation as decided by FCC.
Direct Tv can be easily installed at your home whether purchased or hired except at a historic property.
If you are fulfilled with all such measures then there will be no problem in installing Direct Tv.
Also, your association cant do anything to lengthen installation of your Direct TV dish, hinder maintenance of it, or hike the cost of it..
You should be happy to hear this information, dont you? Your homeowner can neither restrict you from installing the dish nor claim for additional money.
Another reason why this law came into being is that, there were monopoly like situations in the areas where only one choice of Cable broadcasting is available for people.
On the other side, your homeowner may confine you claiming that his house is historic and he cant allow you to do so.
The FCC will authenticate the claim and if it is truly not historic, you will be allowed to fix the dish. In the case of Jason Peterson, his association wasnt capable to make the claim.
Even if you live in a home that shares a wall with another home, such as an apartment or condo, you have the freedom to put in your DirecTV dish on the wall that is yours.
Jason Peterson, for example, lived in a townhouse that had three exterior walls and a roof segment that were not adjacent to any other home. The FCC ruled that he was by law within his rights to mount his TV satellite dish on those exterior walls and roof.
If your homeowners association attempts to prevent you from enjoying your DirecTV using the directv receivers, let them know kindly that the FCC declaration overrules local decisions. If they dont back down, inform them about http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/Orders/1998/da980188.txt where they can find the details of the FCC decision for Jason Peterson. They will certainly stop complaining, as well as hindering, because they have no legal basis to do so.
