Yeah, I dont know what's the big deal with HOAs and their dislike for dishes... I mean... Pretty much anywhere you go or drive by, you see LOTS of Dish Network or DTV dishes (the 18" kind) on people's houses and sides.. and in HOA communities as well...

I dont see why so many people have a "hang up" on other people putting dishes (be it the 18" dish or 30" FTA dishes) on their house or inside their property... I dont see it as being "unsightly," since it's so common these days... for that matter, I dont see the big deal with restrictions on putting up a roof-top antenna either.. sheez... what's the big deal.. I think antennas and dishes look kinda cool (but that's just the geek in me.heh)...

I'll be moving into an HOA community soon and I read its restrictions and thankfully it's a small community, and the biggest restriction is about parking cars overnight in the street in front of your house, etc.... didnt see any restrictions on dishes (as I have seen in other HOA communites I have looked at.heh)...

I also have a big C-band dish that I would have liked to move into my new place, but probably that might raise a few eyebrows, but with the expensive of hiring a dealer to move it cost ($600? maybe)... and the lack of any "ITC" (free in-the-clear) channels left, I probably will just leave it at the old house. oh well...
