Interesting C-Band Article

Found this article today while browsing for satellite information - a nice brief history of C-Band:

They have been saying that for the last 10 years...

Nothing beats a BUD, but for most people now a days, it is expensive and goes against Homeowner Association rules..

That's for sure. I would NEVER consider living in a home covered by one of those associations. I was just reading over in the other forum today, and there was a fellow posting about being sure to get your dish inspected by your local inspector, which made me laugh. Where I live, we don't even have inspectors. When you build a house here, you do need building permits, but that is mainly just to insure that a qualified builder is doing the job, and that site has been perked for the septic system. After that, the house never sees an inspector. Our town did try to create some antenna rules, mainly because they are trying to eliminate cellphone towers on top of each hill, but so far they haven't been too sucessful. However, with more and more people moving in from sterile areas where they used to have home owners associations, I expect sooner or later I'll have to deal with increased restrictions, so the thing for me is to put up as many dishes and other antennas before there are enough outsiders to push through new rules.

In reading the URL in the first post, it also occurred to me that the author had a completely different view of exactly what the Communications Act of 1934 required prior to the 1983/1996 ammendments. I sure don't remember the restrictions on receiving mentioned. I do remember that you could receive non-broadcast stuff, but you couldn't tell anyone about the existance of the signals or the contents, but I didn't remember the actual reception being an issue. But my memory is starting to fail on things that old. I can't seem to find a URL to pre-1983 copies of the act. I have a 1990 era copy somewhere I think.

Yeah, I never understand the rationale behind HOAs.

For example, I know someone who's bought a new house in a "community" with HOA fees for around $200/year and probably goes up each year.. but the question is.. what is this fee for?? I mean they have their own yard and maintain it themselves and pay their utilities on their own, taxes on their own, etc..

Geez, I wish I was the company/entity that collected these fees from all those homeowners, then drive around once and year in that neighborhood and write down on my 'checklist' "everything seems fine too me!"

Sheez.. I was wondering if it's possible to buy a house in such a community and ask if I could buy it W/O contracted into the HOA FEE!!!?!?

That's the one concept I can't accept.
