Before scheduling an installation, you will need to check your landlord or homeowner’s association (HOA) to see if they allow the Viasat satellite dish. The Viasat dish is governed by the [FCC Over-the-Air Reception Devices (OTARD) Rule](http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule). The Viasat dish has the same classification as other residential dishes like satellite television dishes. It can be mounted on your home unless your landlord or HOA specifically prohibits dishes of any kind.
