If it stuck in Beaverton, there were other issues at play. Many HOA's,
when faced with the loss of the 'cable' argument claim safety issues.
Which then require inspections and individual rulings. And a lot of wasted
time. And few homeowners have the time, nor the resources to fight an HOA
which is well funded, and has lawyers on staff.

But the fact remains OTA TV antennae are a protected species. FCC is
clear on that.

They're also clear that small dish antennae are also protected.
Disguised or not.

This may well be true, and I have no reason to doubt it. That being said,
most people won't fight their HOA/apartment owner over the issue, figuring
that they wouldn't be able to win, or, as you said, don't feel it worth
their time and money to fight it. Who knows whether this will change next
February or not.
