text: does utah have a privacy law that prevents hoas from limiting residents to a certian tv sevice? i want to get a dish for tv service, but the hoa says that there is a by law against it.  i was told by another source that legally i can choose any service that i want. if so, what is this law that allows me any service.  and where can i find it in print? my understanding is that you can't be limited to one tv service.  the hoa can restrict how you hook up to a dish service though.  my hoa allows you to connect to dish service but they don't allow you to attach it to the exterior of the building.  that might be the restriction of your hoa as well.  if that's the case, then discuss it with the dish company and they have other setup otpions available such as a tripod that is anchored into the ground.    get a copy of the bylaws of your hoa so that you can know exactly what the restrictions are.  at that point you'll be able to address it properly.  good luck!
