Do I have rights to a satellite dish?

It is not racist to find it distasteful that someone trying to use the human rights act to claim they 'must have' non standard tv channels for cultural reasons, especially when their choice of location (country and property) is the reason they do not have them!There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.0

Really?
Those like me who actually know about this, see my earlier post know that it doesn't program for Latvia or Norway its at 13 degrees to program for the Middle East and Africa.
Can I slag you off for being ill informed opportunistic and stupid?:rotfl:Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

It's not entirely a human rights issue, but for example it would be IF it was a council block and a good proportion of the residents were of a group who required access to those channels, and the council unreasonably denied them permission to install a communal dish for use with that satellite. .
No it would be as I have already explained this has already been considered and determined by the ECHR. You have a right to some, not all.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

You are just being just as myopic and bad as the people you are accusing of racism or hatred.
The OP has the some programming as you did in the US, and feels that it is his human right to
a get it all
b put up a dish on someones elses property
had you insisted along similar lines you might find, esp in NY to be told in no uncertain terms to go home " you ***** limey " Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

If the OP is Iranian then many Iranian and American Iranian TV channels are on the internet.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0

OP - can you just clarify. Does it actually state in the LEASE that you can't have a satellite dish? Or is that wording merely in some form of code of conduct from a managing agent? I have experience of someone successfully challenging a jobsworth managing agent who insisted that a satellite dish must be removed. Their circumstances were exactly the same as yours - I think they wanted to view Eastern European TV stations. On closer examination in that case, the lease in question didn't actually refer to satellite dishes at all and the managing agents didn't have a leg to stand on. The dish is still in place and will remain there!DMP Mutual Support Thread member 244

Then the challenger is lucky- unless the outside is within their lease, they cannot put one up on someone else's property. The outside belongs to the landlrod.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

Wow, it's just like the Daily Mail comments section in here!
EDIT: Ninja'd by dotdash there:rotfl:
Also, the OP was asking for clarification, they thought it was a human rights issue according to some nonsensical articles they had read. The polite thing to do would be to enlighten them.
OP I suggest you ask your LL/LA about the possiblity of putting up a dish, You'll probably have to pay for and its unlikely that they will comply. They don't like things being installed by residents because then they have a responsiblity to maintain them (or at least they worry about being liable for such) This is why they order tenants to rip out perfectly good flooring and leave nasty 60's lino tiles.0
