At the risk of triggering the usual greedy landlord versus bitter tenant brawl, here’s my question:
We live in a 2-family house. Our tenants arranged for Direct TV to come out to put up a small dish, without consulting first. They are willing to work with us on dish placement but I don’t know how flexible the DTV people can be while ensuring reception. I would rather not see the dish from the front or the backyard. I also don’t want a bunch of new visible wires running down from the roof. Deos anyone know how easy it is to tuck one of these things away and out of sight? Wich way do they need to face to get reception (I know, up, but towards north, or south, etc.)? Have you been in this situation before as either a landlord or tenant? Should I just say no? Just allow it? Allow it only if DTV can put it in an agreeable location?
