When I still lived in Oregon my parents had a huge antenna up over the garage that we NEVER used... now I wish we had one to see if that would make it any better, but stupid neighborhood ordinances have a ban placed on such things.(also dissallow window mounted AC and satalite dishes on street sides of houses)
I just wonder if there's anything I can do or if I'm just boned.

The FCC has made it quite clear that you CAN put up satellite dishes and local terrestrial television antennas as long as certain rules are met! In most cases the FCC regs overrule any others. Please go here:

for the straight poop. Note that longwires aren't covered, sad to say. But TV antennas and dishes ARE allowed!
Armed with the proper info, any neighborhood committee needs to prove to YOU that what they want overrules Uncle Sam!
