note, Cable TV is unlimited.

THis is a struggle to protect the dying TV Franchise.

Data is a commodity, bulk, darwinian business.

TV is high margin, as more people watch TV on HULU,
the cable TV biz is dying,

That’s okay, i’ll switch to some other bulk provider, I hate COX
anyways.

Don’t forget that VOD is their highest margin product as well. Now that Netflix have streaming over the internet as well as satellite have On-Demand programming (also over internet), I think they’re trying their best to cripple the competition, instead of making themselves better than the competition. The only people who will be hurt by this move is the consumer.

First ESPN [Disney] blackmails the cable and sat. cos into carrying all the espn channels on basic package instead of sports tier, lest Disney cuts off ABC channel [has already happened].

Faced with ever increasing costs from carriage fees [thanks to doped athletes and Hollywierd elites who are rightfully adored as saints],
cable companies are now blackmailing the “cable” networks into reducing programs on web, lest cable cos reduce funds they pay these networks.

Thus, programming is removed from the web and we end up back with the monopoly. Fine, I cut cable tv last year so the heck with them. Back to good old DVD with no commercials and 20 foot antenna to pick up digital channels. Oh wait, darn HOA.

Don’t worry Equalizier you HOA can’t mess with the FCC.

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 prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.

Effective January 22, 1999, the Commission amended the rule so that it also applies to rental property where the renter has an exclusive use area, such as a balcony or patio.

On October 25, 2000, the Commission further amended the rule so that it applies to customer-end antennas that receive and transmit fixed wireless signals. This amendment became effective on May 25, 2001.

The rule applies to individuals who place antennas that meet size limitations on property that they own or rent and that is within their exclusive use or control, including condominium owners and cooperative owners, and tenants who have an area where they have exclusive use, such as a balcony or patio, in which to install the antenna. The rule applies to townhomes and manufactured homes, as well as to single family homes.

A: The rule applies to the following types of antennas:

(1) A “dish” antenna that is one meter (39.37″) or less in diameter (or any size dish if located in Alaska) and is designed to receive direct broadcast satellite service, including direct-to-home satellite service, or to receive or transmit fixed wireless signals via satellite.

(2) An antenna that is one meter or less in diameter or diagonal measurement and is designed to receive video programming services via broadband radio service (wireless cable) or to receive or transmit fixed wireless signals other than via satellite.

(3) An antenna that is designed to receive local television broadcast signals. Masts higher than 12 feet above the roofline may be subject to local permitting requirements.

In addition, antennas covered by the rule may be mounted on “masts” to reach the height needed to receive or transmit an acceptable quality signal (e.g. maintain line-of-sight contact with the transmitter or view the satellite). Masts higher than 12 feet above the roofline may be subject to local permitting requirements for safety purposes. Further, masts that extend beyond an exclusive use area may not be covered by this rule.
