A dish and a porchscreen.

[KAB]

One of the reasons I have not jumped on the H3, is that in all likely-hood, we will be moving to a controlled community in FL within the next year or so. I KNOW the FCC rules, however, the homeowners Association put's "dishes" to a annual vote, and it is always voted down. So, It has to be within the residence. Luckily, that would would no problem in our porch area to get EA. Would a screen cause problem for reception? My guess is yes.

I've seen these advertised before, never personally seen 1 in action. They would never even know you had it. A little pricey but what's the alternative?

Pricey is an understatement.! Question still stands about a screen.

If the screen is metal without a doubt. Can't say for sure about vinyl or other screen material.

It's vinyl...it is the 80's for God's sake!

Why not take a sheet of vinyl screen and place it over your present dish and find out? Then, you can report back the results to us.

Not a bad idea. But I would have to put it right on the LNB, if that would make a difference.

Actually the back of the LNB. You'd only be draping it from the extension of the LNB to the back of the dish...

Sounds like a good reason to find another place to live with a less intrusive HOA.

Not in a million years! I'll learn to cope with Comcast if I must.

Wouldn't it be strange to have this huge rock on your roof?

I took a look at their site and there is one that looks like a tree, and not too pricey either.

I'm holding out for the Dish Cloaking Device (to be released soon after the Dish Holosuite)

I took a look at their site and there is one that would make the dish look just like a potted tree, and not too pricey either.

Standard fiberglass screen material passes signals fine. The only time there will be a problems is during heavy rain if water sheets across the screen.

and if the dish is on a covered, screened in porch, not an issue...

Wow...Several years after FCC Rules on Satellite dish placement have been law and some people are STILL dealing with this....Unreal..
If it were me, I'd put the thing up and upon HOA reaction, quote the law chapter and verse. Then let the blue haired cranky old jerks sweat over it.

There are ways they can get around it, covered in OP.
