Many people thinks a lot before installing Directv dvr because it is against the rental contract or homeowners association. Direct TV offers digital quality images and sound comparing with Cable and if you want to enjoy such at your home despite being restricted just read the following.

If your homeowners association or rental agreement prohibits you from installing a directv hd dvr dish, you may have a good chance of having that restriction overturned.

Except they can prove that you live in a historic home that requires unique preservation methods, it's in fact against the law to make prohibitions against installing a directv receiver. The most significant point is that you dont have to pay extra to your home owner if you install at your house.

During February 1998 when Jason Peterson filed a case against the rental agreement Federal Communications Commission clarified it. There are some necessities that needs to be fulfilled before installation as decided by FCC.

Direct Tv can be easily installed at your home whether owned or hired except at a historic property.

If all of these measures are met, your TV satellite dish is legal and must be allowed.

Any type of unnecessary interruption by the home owner is strictly restricted by the law.

You should be happy to know this information, dont you? Your homeowner can neither restrict you from installing the dish nor demand for additional charges.

The reasoning behind the decision is somewhat that the restraint of direct broadcast satellite antennas (like a DirecTV dish) creates a dominating condition where only cable broadcasting is available.

Are you concerned that your homeowners association might asserts that your home is a historic structure and attempt to deny you a DirecTV dish in that way?

The FCC will verify the claim and if it is really not historic, you will be allowed to fix the dish. This was not the problem in the case of Jason Peterson, as the home owner assosiation failed to make any influence in this regard.

If your home is next to the neighboring house, nobody can prevent you from installing your DirecTV satellite dish on your wall.

In Jason Petersons example cited above, his homes only one side was adjoining other house, leaving it, the home including roof was open. The FCC pointed out that he was by law within his rights to install 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 takes precedence to local decisions. If they dont take back, send them to http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/Orders/1998/da980188.txt where they can get the details of the FCC judgement for Jason Peterson. They will certainly end up complaining, as well as hindering, because they have no legal basis to do so.
