I don't believe the local code has any say in the matter.

But if you want to give up your rights...


This is true to a point. Local codes no problem, BUT in HOA territory
these rules do not necessarily apply. In most cases the HOAs have
modified their rules. The small direct satellite lobby started the
trend. Allowing these dishes they really had to include other TV antennas.

the FCC premption (aka OTARD rules) is the key thing here.. The HOA
can't really do anything if it fits in the FCC guidelines.. dishes 1
meter, OTA TV any size.
