Want a yagi to pick up those TV channels? A dish for satellite TV? Panel antenna for wireless internet? Homeowner's association says no? Tell them where to stick it! 47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37") in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal. Effective January 22, 1999, the Commission amended the rule so that it also applies to rental property where the renter has an exclusive use area, such as a balcony or patio. On October 25, 2000, the Commission further amended the rule so that it applies to customer-end antennas that receive and transmit fixed wireless signals. This amendment became effective on May 25, 2001. Some of the more interesting of the Q&A: Q: I want to install an antenna for broadcast radio or amateur radio. Does the rule apply to me? A: No. The rule does not apply to antennas used for AM/FM radio, amateur ("ham") radio (see 47 C.F.R. ยง97.15), Citizen's Band ("CB") radio or Digital Audio Radio Services ("DARS"). Q: I want to install an antenna to access the Internet. Does the rule apply to me? A: Yes. Antennas designed to receive and/or transmit data services, including Internet access, are included in the rule. Q: Does this mean that I can install an antenna that will be used for voice and data services even though it does not provide video transmissions? A: Yes. The most recent amendment expands the rule and permits you to install an antenna that will be used to transmit and/or receive voice and data services, except as noted above. The rule will also continue to cover antennas used to receive video programming. Full info |
