Whoa there
There are many ways to install a dish without attatching it to a building. Congress passed a bill here in the states years ago preventing HOA from banning dishes.
a right to own one, i would agree
a right to have one given to you, oh please
You need a receiver, but those are cheap, and you pay the same TV tax as the analog days, but the network programming is FTA.
What I see, then, after stripping away all the bureaucratic jargon that devolved after the fact, is that the case arose because a landlord told his renters they couldn't have TV.
It's not like the US where a dish is optional for TV.
Banning satellite dishes on listed buildings and private homes could be a breach of human rights...
But unlimited regulations, rules, requirements, restrictions, etc. on how private property owners use their property and negotiate contractual agreements is not a violation of human rights?
There’s no right to a satellite dish. There is, though, a right to use your own property as you see fit, if doing so causes no harm to others.
If its a human right, then the next step is to provide a taxpayer subsidy so everyone has one.
Heh, battle of the bureaucrats.
Cadging it as a human right is a bit out outre’. That said, it would be like outlawing gas-powered vehicles in the parking lot - a standard commodity is a standard commodity and refusing to allow it should be squashed. I have been researching gun carry laws in Mississippi - it seems that anything that fully or partially conceals the weapon relegates it to the “concealed” weapon status and require a concealed carry permit - holsters are considered to be “concealment”. I’ll talk with some friends in law enforcement to see if that means I can carry it in my hand or if my hand would be deemed to be partially concealing it too.
Is this part of their 6-foot thick “constitution”?
Just wow! There are thousands of condominium complexes where dishes are banned. Though some allow them. A private landlord has to allow his property to be disfigured and mutilated in the EU?
I have nothing against satellite TV dishes but if you are renting this is at the landlord’s discretion
“the right to freedom of information”
Does anyone have to provide your megaphone, or your means to listen, with their funds, their property?
Does your “right” extend to what is essentially an unrestricted taking of others’ property.
Such an extension obliterates any distinction between public property and private property, converting private property into de-facto public property.
If there is such a “right” it can only be taken that GOVERNMENT cannot actively suppress such a right.
As individuals and as regards our own property, we are subject to what we can contract for with each other.
