Your Rights to have DISH Network and Landlord Permission Form

We value your right to watch the best in television entertainment and we want you to be
informed of your legal right to receive DISH Network service, whether you rent or own
your home.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed rules in 1996 regarding the
installation of satellite dishes for residents of apartments, condos, town homes or
covenant-controlled communities managed by a Homeowners Association.

The FCC ruled that a resident has the right to have a satellite dish that is less than one
meter (39.37 inches) in diameter. The dish may be installed within the renter's or owner's
exclusive area, such as inside a balcony, yard or patio. However, the landlord or the
Homeowners Association can enforce restrictions on common areas, such as the exterior
of the building or the roof.

The FCC ruling also covers unreasonable installation or maintenance costs as well as
unreasonable delays in dish installation, maintenance or use. This means that a landlord
or Homeowners Association cannot ask you to pay unreasonable extra costs or create
undue delays for you to use or install a satellite dish, nor can they prevent you from
installing a dish within the guidelines.

For any questions or to receive the complete FCC rules, please visit www.fcc.gov. For
questions about DISH Network service, please visit www.dishnetwork.com. Thank you
for being a DISH Network customer.
