Default A DTV antenna

Isn't there a federal law allowing TV antennas?
Or did you sign a personal contract agreeing
not to install a TV antenna?


The OTARD rule (to which you're referring) allows installation of an
over-the-air TV antenna, but it only applies if the antenna is
installed in an area which is exclusively for the tenant's use.

People who rent houses are usually able to take advantage of it.
Apartment dwellers often can't, because they aren't renting the whole
building and thus don't have "exclusive use" rights to the roof or
exterior.

Unless they have a balcony which is their "own space".
