JaimeDeCurry Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 So...here's the deal. I dished out (yuk yuk) for DirecTV about three weeks ago and got it installed on the side of my house in commercially-run Navy Housing. Today I got a letter saying I had 48 hours to get confirmation that it would be taken down and moved to a pole-mounted location in the back of my house. "Whatever," I think. No big deal. So I called DTV, they had a tech in the area who swung by, and told me that it was a no-go. No line of sight in the back yard, even mounted on a pole. He did tell me about OTARD, though, which I'd never heard of. I don't know if it applies to Navy housing though, even though it's run by a commercial leasing company or whatever. Does anyone know the OTARD workings pretty well, and/or are able to explain them in layman's terms relative to my situation? I know that I'll probably have to take it down because it was drilled into the house, but I shouldn't have to move it to a place where there's no line of sight. I've never really dealt with anything like this before, though, so I'm a bit in over my head. Any knowledge anyone can give, or experiences that they've had with something like this would be HUGELY appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I think you misheard what he said...he actually called you a REtard. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It is illegal under OTARD for you to incur additional cost or be required to place the dish where you can't get an adequate signal http://www.sbca.com/access-tv/SBCA_OTARD_flyer.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
