In Illinois, can a townhome association prevent you from having a satellite dish, like Dish Network?

Most likely - you would have had to sign an agreement with the association when you purchased the townhome. It would have included a clause regarding the exterior appearance of your unit. A satellite dish mounted on the outside of your house would certainly effect the appearance, and thus would fall under the agreement.

The church I attend has the Directway satellite connection.  At the beginning there were more problems with connection.  Though the connection seems to be pretty consistently up now, it is just seemingly slow.\n\nThere is another satellite ISP now called Wild Blue based out of Denver, and they provide service throughout most of US.  Their website has the information on equipment, installation, and monthly pricing.\n\nhttp://www.wildblue.com

Why don't you try to find them in the directory, by using known names and addresses. Maps dot com will pinpoint there house with an aerial view from the satellite.

I do not believe so, they have am office listed at                     7108 Katella Ave, Suite 429\nStanton, CA 90680-4326\n\nThey have been prohibited from doing business in Illinois by the courts. Look up without the CA address,

Not sure where you are, but you might want to check out "Free to Air" options....\nhttp://www.tech-faq.com/free-to-air-satellite.shtml\n\nThese receivers are available and easily programmable...\nhttp://dssftp.com/files/

To boost the signal of your wireless router I would recommend buying a suitable enhanced antenna from your local computer store. They are designed to work with your router. There are also signal boosting devices that can be used throughout your home/office to help increase your signal coverage and wipe out dead spots.\n\nAs for the Sat dish; if you want to be Dr. Frankenstein and experiment you can go to your local Radio Shack and get the proper adapters to convert the connection from one to the other. Not sure if they will have the proper adapter for the router though. You may have to improvise. Will you succeed? I am very doubtful. Sat dishes are used to RECEIVE SIGNALS, not TRANSMIT! You may get better luck just using the coax cable used with the dish. But then again, stranger things have happened...

The general answer to the question is yes.\nDependant on the municipality (city/county) the local building codes place restrictions on what is considered a pet and what is livestock and limit your right to keep them on the property. The local Health Dept can supercede the building codes and force the removal of pets/livestock from a residence if it believes they can cause a health threat to the community at large. The codes consider your neighbors more important than the poultry.

lots of problems with sky, mainly due to loss of reception in poor weather, but that can't be helped im afraid since the reception of the signal depends on the line of sight from the sattelite to your dish being clear, ie no clouds, heavy rain, snow etc. NTL/Telewest are good providers, but again the same applies because they get their programme contents from sattelites, only difference being they use huge dishes whereas your home dish is probably a standard 60cm dish, so though signal loss is possible in bad weather even with cable, its not as likely, the big plus side is, the broadband and phone packages availale with cable, they more than make up for any tv disruption, so have a look at NTL/Telewest packages

Verizon's monthly charge for satellite is $80 I believe. Last I checked anyway. I think I understood though that you have to still be close to a tower for it to work. Correct me if I am wrong on this latter.

Isn't that for a satellite dish?  I'd ask your network provider...

NO, however they can keep the companies from drilling holes into the walls from outside.\n\nIn other words no cable if your home/apt is not hooked up.\n\nPlease read your lease completely...\n\nThe link below is a link to TENANTS RIGHTS HANDBOOK LOOK FOR YOUR STATE..\n\nGOOD-LUCK!

Cable, Wireless if there's a company in your area, or satellite Dish.  \n\nDirecway is the most popular right now, it's not part of Directv, but it's owned by the same company.  It uses a larger dish than the TV and has a microwave transmitter so it needs to be out of reach of people.  Not dangerous but it has the potential to be.  It uses an adapter (modem) that connects to your computer via ethernet cable so you need an ethernet card, and windows 98 or above supports it.  There is no longer any software involved so nothing is done to your computer except maybe get rid of old software from DSL or cable that sometimes won't allow it, and disabling the firewall for  the computer to pick it up.\n\nThere's also a company called "wild blue".  They are new but seem to have a very good product.  Roughly the same idea as direcway.\n\nDirecway can be roof mounted, wall mounted only if the dish can be up high enough and facing the satellite in space (there are several), and pole mounted by a professional installer only due to the safety concerns.
