NFL Sunday Ticket.TV - Renting a townhome that does not allow satellite dish installation

I am currently renting a town home from a property management company. In the lease it states I am not allowed to make any alterations or installations to the exterior of the property, including satellite dishes. I tried to signup for NFL Sunday Ticket.TV, but when I input my address, I received the message "Sorry, your address is not eligible." Is there anyway for me to send a photo of my lease to show I can't install a satellite dish so I can become eligible for NFL Sunday Ticket.TV streaming? If not, I'm going to have to try and get my NFL fix by other means.

OTARD prevents landlords/HOA from preventing a dish install in an area under your exclusive control like a patio/ balcony.

Didn't know about OTARD, so thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I don't want to fight over my lease agreement, nor have to pay a $300 fee on top of an Un-installation fee if I move in a year, so it's on to finding some other way to stream for me or going to a restaurant I suppose.

You can put in a move order to continue using DTV if you do move but unless you have had service for a year then there is a $199 fee and a new 1 year contract.  DTV doesn't uninstall the dish you own it to leave/remove it so there is no fee but there is the ECF/ETF if you cancel before your 2 years are up.
