Many people hesitate to install Directv dvr because it is against the rental contract or homeowners association. Through Direct TV one can enjoy numerous channels with digital quality picture and sound.

You might go against your rental agreement to install a directv hd dvr dish if your property owner doesnt allow you to do so.

Except they can prove that you reside in a historic home that requires special preservation methods, it's actually against the law to make restrictions against installing a directv receiver. Moreover you dont have to pay more to your landlord if you install a Direct TV dish.

During February 1998 when Jason Peterson registered a case against the rental contract Federal Communications Commission clarified it. The decision of Federal Communications Commission is to satisfy a set of requirements before installing Direct TV.

You cant install Direct Tv dish at a historic property. It doesnt matter whether the property is owned or rented.

If you are fulfilled with all such measures then there will be no problem in installing Direct Tv.

Your association cant use any trick to keep you away from taking joy of viewing Direct TV. He cant obstruct the installation, hinder maintenance, or increase the rate..

This news surely will rejoice those who are bearing such restrictions. Also, your homeowner cant demand additional money for allowing this TV connection.

Partly the verdict aims at preventing cable providers from creating monopoly in the areas where only cable network is existing.

Is you homeowner asserting that his building is historic? He might be a fraud. Dont worry you have the way.

Homeowner may bring about some evidence to support his assertion. But its for FCC to examine and prove whether it is historic or not. In the case of Jason Peterson, his association wasnt able to make the claim.

In case your apartment or condominium adjoins your neighbors house, they cant deny your right to install the dish on your wall.

In Jason Petersons example mentioned above, his homes only one side was adjoining other house, rest of the home including roof was open. The FCC permitted him to install the dish on any of the three side of walls or roof.

If your homeowners association attempts to prevent you from enjoying your DirecTV using the directv receivers, let them know gently that the FCC statement takes precedence to local decisions. If they dont agree to you, send them to http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/Orders/1998/da980188.txt where they can get the specifics of the FCC decision for Jason Peterson. They will definitely end up complaining, as well as obstructing, because they have no legal ground to do so.
