Satellite Dish Installation (June 2016)

Back to homepage

If a resident desires to install a satellite dish (or outdoor TV antennae), a Request for Modification form must be filled out and sent to the management company for Board approval. No work is to be started before receiving written Board approval. Forms are available from the management company or the River Pines website.

The Modification Request should state the dish size; the maximum allowed is 32 inches. If the location of the dish installation is known, it should be indicated in the request on an outline drawing of the unit footprint (available from the management company). If the location is to be determined at the time of installation, it must be done only in consultation with the River Pines Site Manager.

If the dish mounting method is known, it should be indicated in the request with a sketch. If the mounting method is to be determined at the time of installation, it must be done in consultation with the River Pines Site Manager. Typical mounting has the support brackets attached to a 1” x 6” trim board or to the T1-11 siding (reinforce T1-11 as required).

Mounting onto the roofing shingles is not permitted.

For All Installations:

  1. The co-owner will be required to utilize a reputable company for the dish installation.
  2. The contractor must be insured for General Liability and Workers’ Compensation.
  3. The co-owner will be responsible for all maintenance, repair and replacement of the satellite dish and related hardware, as well as any damages incurred to the buildings and grounds as a result of the installation and removal.
  4. Satellite dish installation must be done in a manner so as not to distract or create a nuisance for neighboring units.

The Association requests that satellite dishes no longer in use be removed, and that the Association be notified so that any repairs necessary to the mounting area can be taken care of.
