Absolutely. There are lots of us that live in areas with little if no content easily obtainable over-the-air, and our HOAs forbid larger antennas. I am sure NYC and SF get a much better selection of OTA channels.
I would love the opportunity to lease an antenna off-site. And not just from the US, but antennas around the world. I can do my own DVR recording and storage locally.
Break it up to where individuals can install your antenna and DVR software for it. And let them lease it to another individual. Imagine me in the US and a friend in Japan want to share. I put up an antenna for him, he puts one up for me. I get to watch Japanese TV, he gets to watch US TV. We now both have a great resource for language study. And it's 100% decentralized.

Your HOA cannot forbid a larger antenna for OTA broadcast reception. They can put some restrictions on where you place the antenna, such as requiring that it be in your back yard and not visible from the front, to the extent that those restrictions do not preclude reception or unreasonably raise the cost. (For satellite dishes, they can limit them to under 1 meter). Here is a guide from the FCC explaining your antenna rights: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule
- byuu 12y agoVery nice! Thank you very much for that info! I know I had to go through my HOA to determine where I could place my Dish TV receiver and that it had requirements that it be under a certain size. Good to know it doesn't extend to OTA sizes, as I've been wanting to ditch the cable bill for a while now.
