FYI, the FCC says a landlord cannot prevent you from putting up a dish and/or antenna.

A: The rule applies to antenna users who live in a multiple dwelling unit building, such as a condominium or apartment building, if the antenna user has an exclusive use area in which to install the antenna. "Exclusive use" means an area of the property that only you, and persons you permit, may enter and use to the exclusion of other residents. For example, your condominium or apartment may include a balcony, terrace, deck or patio that only you can use, and the rule applies to these areas. The rule does not apply to common areas, such as the roof, the hallways, the walkways or the exterior walls of a condominium or apartment building. Restrictions on antennas installed in these common areas are not covered by the Commission's rule. For example, the rule would not apply to restrictions that prevent drilling through the exterior wall of a condominium or rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation that requires such drilling.

Q: Does the rule apply to condominiums or apartment buildings if the antenna is installed so that it hangs over or protrudes beyond the balcony railing or patio wall?

A: No. The rule does not prohibit restrictions on antennas installed beyond the balcony or patio of a condominium or apartment unit if such installation is in, on, or over a common area. An antenna that extends out beyond the balcony or patio is usually considered to be in a common area that is not within the scope of the rule. Therefore, the rule does not apply to a condominium or rental apartment unit unless the antenna is installed wholly within the exclusive use area, such as the balcony or patio.

Sad face.

On a side note, the tangle of wires and vcrs only exists because the current TV is old enough to only have a coax input. In the 80's I became very good at figuring out how to plug things into other things that weren't necessarily designed to have things plugged into them. Sound is not 5.1. In a wood floor apartment I have some trepidation about the "home theatre sound" infringing on my neighbors.

I suppose the mixing board can probably be retired as I don't have much of a vinyl collection anymore. Or turntables.

Again with the sad face.

Matt and Kevy are invited to come over and play "Techie for Cheez" if they're so inclined.

I think CM is a wee bit closer - especially if he comes either before or after work. If he is not available, I would be happy to assist - I like the pay
