Sky TV installation in apartment complex

djimi · 2012-02-28 09:51:52

I suspect I already know the answer to this but Im going to ask anyway...! I live in an apartment complex which is controlled by a management company. Right now the only option I have for TV is UPC, who I am quite frankly getting sick of, and I would like to change to Sky. Problem is that like most apartment complexes mine…

I'd hope it has - the EU TWF Directive allows you to have a dish to receive your home countries TV if available (that includes people living in their home country) and its not a right that can be signed away at that.

Planning consent will always be obtained if required when the LA is reminded of this.

That directive applies to the government as far as I know...nobody can be prevented from receiving signals from their home countries. BUT that doesn't absolve such a person from all responsibility, if they move to a development where dishes are not allowed as opposed to one where they are, that is their choice. There are plenty of developments with dishes allowed. It's not a carte blanche to breach development rules or planning permission or damage communal property by drilling holes etc.
