<pre wrap="">Hi Gus,
Good questions.
1. The only place the dish could conceivably go outside is on a very small
balcony. It would probably have to be disguised as a patio chair or natural
gas barbecue.

Mostly a lurker on this list (haven't posted for quite a while), but I
believe the FCC covers this situation and its regulations supersede
the bylaws. It appears that you could install the dish on the balcony
and you would not need to disguise it. The website does state that the
bylaws can prevent you from drilling into the side of the building, so
the balcony might be the only place you can install the dishes. This
assumes that the dish can be pointed in the appropriate direction from
the balcony.

We are not in the US. :) So the FCC does not have jurisdiction.<br>
<br>
I think the community by-laws prohibit the installation of individual
satellite dishes on balcony or anywhere on the outside of the unit. If
I recall correctly, agreeing to obey the bylaws is a condition of
ownership at the property (and there might even be a caveat on the
title).<br>
