Direct TV Sunday Ticket Subscribers

[cgarsmoker]

If you are a Sunday Ticket subscriber, I will pay half of your subscription cost if you grant me access to watch the games online. I live in an development that doesn't allow satellite dishes so getting direct TV isn't an option for me. I used the Madden offer last year but I haven't heard anything about that being offered again this year. If you're interested sent me PM or let me know. I can pay via check or paypal.

they won't be offering the Madden deal again this year.  Instead, DirecTV is offering a standalone package.  Two threads about it in the Panthers forum:

 

 

if you are in an area that doesn't allow DirecTV, you should qualify.

Thanks.....I already checked and it's not available for me because I live in a house where Direct TV is available. The problem is the HOA doesn't allow a visible dish on the roof and I don't want a tall pole in the back yard.

roger that...carry on.  :)

Looks like it's first row sports for you sir.

I hate them for not offering red zone separate. Needs to be available for every provider

The HOA cannot keep you from getting DirecTV, per FCC regulation...

 

http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule

 

The rule (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 allows local governments, community associations and landlords to enforce restrictions that do not impair the installation, maintenance or use of the types of antennas described above, as well as restrictions needed for safety or historic preservation.  Under some circumstances where a central or common antenna is available, a community association or landlord may restrict the installation of individual antennas. 

 

 

.tell the HOA to suck it.... Youre welcome.....

Also from that link:

 

Q:  What restrictions prevent a viewer from receiving an acceptable quality signal?  Can a homeowners association or other restricting entity establish enforceable preferences for antenna locations?

A:  Enforceable placement preferences must be clearly articulated in writing and made available to all residents of the community in question.  A requirement that an antenna be located where reception would be impossible or substantially degraded is prohibited by the rule.  However, a regulation requiring that antennas be placed in a particular location on a house such as the side or the rear, might be permissible if this placement does not prevent reception of an acceptable quality signal or impose unreasonable expense or delay.  For example, if installing an antenna in the rear of the house costs significantly more than installation on the side of the house, then such a requirement would be prohibited.  If, however, installation in the rear of the house does not impose unreasonable expense or delay or preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal, then the restriction is permissible and the viewer must comply.

For DBS antennas, and digital fixed wireless antennas or other digital antennas to receive or transmit an acceptable quality signal, the antenna must be installed where it has an unobstructed, direct view of the satellite or other device from which signals are received or to which signals are to be transmitted.  Unlike analog antennas, digital antennas, even in the presence of sufficient over-the-air signal strength, will at times provide no picture or sound unless they are placed and oriented properly.

OK, so they can try to limit where you put it... The HOA can tell you they dont want to see it, but if it obstructs signal, then the HOA has to live with it. Thats my interpretation anyway...

 

cgar said they wouldnt let him have one... This says otherwise.....

I know.  I wasn't disputing the HOA can kiss his ass.  Just thought that particular information was also important to him besides you letting him know the HOA can suck it.

 

He can have a dish on his house, they just might be able to limit where he puts it. If they already had it in writing to the whole community and the limited location area doesn't cost him more money than another area of his house or restrict his reception.  Since they told him no, he couldn't have one.  I'm sure they don't already have it in writing where he can put it on his roof so he is probably free game to put it anywhere on his house.  He might want to reread the HOA agreement to be sure though.

HOA's are the adult version of Lord of the Flies

[cgarsmoker]

The HOA basically says the dish can not be visible from the front street view of the house. That includes the sides of the house that are visible from all angles anywhere on the street passing directly in front of the house. The pitch of my roof only gives me two options....put the dish actually in the middle of my roof or on a pole on my back yard. I don't have much of a backyard because we have a screen covered pool and a pole would just look bad. From Direct TV's stand point I can get service if I wanted it but I don't want to put the dish in the places allowed by the HOA. This is a new neighborhood for me and I just moved here about a month ago.....I don't want to pick a fight with the HOA right after moving in so I'm stuck.

I need my Panthers fix this season.....if anybody wants to split the cost of Sunday ticket, let me know!!
