I know that a group of homeowners here had considered it just recently, but there were so many issues that they didn't end up doing it. I think the cost was going to be very high too. The wiring is supposedly very complex.

I haven't totally ruled it out. I need to look into it further but it sounds like it would be a huge hassle and may even cost several thousand dollars.
Rupert...I live in a condo (not a high rise) and they were able to install a single dish outside and then link it to the existing cable box (the main one outside) since the cable is already hardwired into the building the dish can be accessed using the existing cable jacks in the condos...I don't know all the details but apparently it's perfectly legal. It allowed the board to approve it because there wouldn't be a bunch of different dishes attached to the building nor would they be drilling holes in the walls etc to install the witing.
