Hi Warren, I seem to remember you also have a saying, "You can't fight
City Hall", this change happened just before I moved in here in 2003, it
wasn't so much a matter of TV reception which is excellent BTW but rooftop
AEs being 'offensive'. Under our laws, the only thing Ofcom would concern
itself with would be my TV reception, which is excellent and my telephone
quality (landline). Mere 'hobbies' like ham radio don't qualify for help.
We are talking about a council regulation which only affects a few areas
of certain towns in the Borough, especially ones which have excellent
reception, like mine. The rule about no satellite dishes over 60cm and not
above the eaves, has been around for a while. As I don't want satellite, I
don't care about that one.

"Hi Ian and all,
Interestingly enough you don't seem to have the political lobby we do on
this side of the pond. Once upon a time the Home Owners Associations (HOA
Nazis) forbade outside aerials but that putting a crimp in broadcast
revenue broadcasters fought back and won an exemption from the FCC. Sat
dishes that meet certain requirements are exempt at the federal level so
now I see them everywhere. Seems like OFCOM dropped the ball on this one."
