Re: DirecTV installed dish & coax w/o permission - Landlord Forum thread 289062

Not trying to stir up anything. I am a Directv Dealer and a licensed electrical contractor. The Federal Communications Commission has strict rules that prohibits landlords from using exclusive communication providers (only one provider company allowed), dish restrictions and wiring restrictions that could cause services to be disrupted. I do wall fish rewires but we charge for them. Most satellite companies do not charge for rewiring exteriorly.

Now on the other hand, HD requires Solid copper (SC) RG6, in order to get true high def and dolby digital sound. Copper Clad Steel (CCS) cannot hold the bandwidth that solid copper can. Yes, copper clad does work but if you see them side by side or in my case on a signal meter then you will definately notice the difference. Now RG 59 wire will not carry a digital signal or HD signal whether it's solid copper or copper clad steel. Thanks!

I manage a townhome here in texas and am employed by an individual that owns the property, not a company. My boss doesn't allow dishes to be installed on the building which is understandable but now he says that I must enforce a new rule of no more tenants getting a dish. Even on a pole. I am not sure that he can legally do that. I think he can prohibit the dishes being installed on the roof or the side of the building but I do not think he can legally tell a tenant that they may not have a dish (on a pole) I have at least 15 tenants who have then on poles so how can I tell another tenant that they can not get a dish when nothing is being done to get rid of the poled dishes that are already on property?? It is no where in our leases either. So if a tenant gets a dish knowing we "don't allow" them anymore, there is nothing we can do correct? I am only asking because I dont believe that my boss knows what he is talking about.
