Hi all! Usually I'm loathed to get into discussions like this on email ... because I watch and am a great fan of C-SPAN this is actually something I heard about when C SPAN had a discussion about telecommunications. The condo cannot prohibit a satellite dish IF the unit owner has external space to mount it such as a deck, balcony or porch even a roof EXCEPT if it's unsafe OR the building is in the national register of historic preservation. And, yes, they can just install it. There's a wonderful 100-150 unit apt. building in SW DC in which all the units have a balcony. Instead of installing a central system ... EVERY balcony ... every single one ... has a satellite dish. It's the funniest and saddest thing to see. It looks as if the building either sprouted metal "flowers" or came down w/ some alien disease. Hopefully, if people in cohousing want a satellite dish they would be sensitive to their neighbors and seek to work w/ the community to affix the dish in an appropriate manner that works for everyone. However ... if they have a private exterior space they can simply have the company install the dish. Now this could have changed in the last five years and I'd love it if someone more knowledgeable than me a la C-SPAN would clarify this if so. Here's a link I found: http://www.ccfj.net/FCClaw.htm Ann Z.
