    Re: comcast dropping big ten network in non big ten states

    Bua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
    Barry Alvarez is such a genius.......
    The impetus for b10 hockey in his eyes was b10 could get more exposure. Yeah brah, hockey is world’s apart from football. It’s kind of odd how much of a cement head Alvarez is. I mean how do you get to be an AD when you’re that myopic or ignorant?

        Not true. Laws vary from state-to-state and municipality-to-municipality but, for the most part, prohibitions against installing dishes and the like on rental properties and on common elements of condominiums are generally enforceable.

          Got a patio that faces the South/West? You can easily install a dish on a stand on the patio, just weigh it down so the wind doesn't move it. Last apartment complex I was in was dead set against residents having satellite TV *unless* (and this was in the fine print) it was mounted on a free-standing pole not physically affixed to the building or deck.


          Also saw a setup in a different complex a friend was in where people who had south facing large picture windows, and no balcony, mounted the dish inside the apartment facing out the window.

            This causes us to lose one of few outlets that carry hockey (big ten) and SNY usually has some Quinnipiac games

              I've been reading that satellite installers themselves are now reluctant to affix dishes to buildings, even if you own the house. One reason is once you install a dish on your roof, you can (usually) never take it down because it will leave holes in your roof. (When I left DISH, the satellite dish remained on my roof until I had the roof redone. At that point, the roofer took the dish down and disposed of it for me.) They are now strongly suggesting you install a dish on a free standing pole, and affix the pole in the ground.

                I live in a townhouse. I put a DirecTV dish on my roof and I had to buy a special mounting bracket or something. You are right, it will damage the roof.

                  And that is why in an apt complex, you would lose the deposit, to fix that damage. There have been lawsuits about this issue. Technology is always a mess.
                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                      Why not? Some charge more for a view. Supply and demand. Simple economics...

                        I pay a little more than other 1 BR apts, since I have vaulted ceilings.

                            Of course, they already have to pay more for running an AC unit in the summer, compared to those with northern exposures...
