Divorce is another option

Can't wait for FIOS.

Not yet, anyway. I was dying for TW to drop Fox to see the outcry from the right. It would have been a lot of fun.

Yeah, cause we just can't live without American Idol and The Simpsons. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya that nothing happens to Cartoon Network.

I for one, am VERY upset about the Food Network. Also, waiting (in vain) for Fios to come to the nabe. I'm not allowed to have a dish as per my landlord, so I guess I'm S.O.L. I am vewy vewwy sad.

just got FiOS...came into my building on Plaza St recently...so glad to rid myself of Cablevision

you might want to check the laws on that, whatchuwant. i know that your landlord must allow you to have cable, and the ability to get a dish may also be a right

nope, she's not

her rules can't trump the FCC

What you're failing to acknowledge is this -

FCC wrote: ...and tenants who have an area where they have exclusive use, such as a balcony or patio, in which to install the antenna. [snip] The rule does not apply to common areas that are owned by a landlord, a community association, or jointly by condominium or cooperative owners where the antenna user does not have an exclusive use area. Such common areas may include the roof or exterior wall of a multiple dwelling unit. Therefore, restrictions on antennas installed in or on such common areas are enforceable.

If she does not have access to southern exposure, which is necessary for aiming the dish at geosynchronous satellites, she may indeed be SOL.

Whyfi - you beat me to the punch - unless the OP has a balcony or somesuch (they don't), they're SOL.

I actually had a nightmare that my tenants would have Cablevision run the cable through the front side wall of my brownstone (I know, I know, I tend to control freak a little).

I think few things more horrid looking than the the sight of those black coaxial cables falling off the street-side cornices and snaking in through the front windows - a lot of my neighbors have that.

They are back!
