Then there are intrusive rules like no satellite dishes allowed,


IIRC,Federal law prevents that as long as you mount it on your own
property,not any common property.(For 18 inch dishes.)
Of course,if you don't have line-of-sight from your exposure,then
you're SOL.





Federal law says I can put a satellite dish outside my condo? I doubt
it. Florida statutes specifically allow one American flag and access
to cable television without additional charge. Condo's can require me
to install hurricane shutters or white mini-blinds in my windows, so
the power over appearance seems absolute. What does fed. statute say
about satellite dishes in condos?

note it says;

Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 directed the Commission
to enact regulations to prohibit restrictions that impair a viewer's
ability to receive video programming through devices designed for over-the-
air reception of direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") service, multichannel
multipoint distribution service ("MMDS" or "wireless cable"), or television
broadcast signals. The Commission adopted the rule that currently applies
to antenna restrictions on property within the exclusive use or control of
an antenna user who has a direct or indirect ownership interest

Condo owners own their condo.

in the property. At that time, the Commission issued a Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on whether Section 207 should be
interpreted to apply also to rental property and common areas.
