I have heard stories of people hiding their dish under a box contstructed of very thin wood, but I generally think that's b.s. Although, if you're in an area that has a strong signal you might want to give it a try as an experiment. Also, glass will reduce a signal and change the way you need to align you dish. |

Tell them that you would like to watch programing that cateres to your culture.You would install it on a TRIPOD on your balcony or deck. If they still say NO just bring it out when it gets dark.By useing a Tripod you can put a 90 cm Dish & move it around till you receive the bird you are looking for.LOL |

If you own the Condo, you are supposed to have "voted" for any permission or restriction. This would be a bit more difficult to couteract. Any restrictions placed within the law would have to be defended by the association on the basis that it is good for the majority of the owners of the condos. |
