    What Are DirecTV's Standard Proceedures for Non-Prewired (For Satellite) Apartments?

    In every condo I have lived in you don't own the roof. The only place the law allows you to install a dish is as stated previously is a balcony or patio. The association may permit installations elsewhere but they aren't legally required to do do. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys
