Back in the day... I read that fast food restaurants used two types of cows - meat from lean and flavorless dairy cows that had stopped producing, and excess fat trimmings from meat cows that had been sold for steak, sirloin and so forth. The fat added flavor and costs were low because both products were in low demand from their primary sources.
It is not currently a right. There's a whole lot of caveats that make it difficult to make a right. I could, literally, rent a house to you - right this minute - where there is no terrestrial service, nor is a cell tower close enough to provide service. I'd probably disallow you, the renter, permission to mount a satellite dish on said property. (I would do so for you, or have a professional install it.)
I am fairly certain that the FCC has you covered here, cf. FCC 98-273. They state in there that actually a renter may not be prohibited from mounting a satellite dish and at the same time make it clear that the property owner should not be required to mount one.
I got mine around 1986, played games on it in high school but in college did all my work on it including Anthropology papers with detailed, lovingly hand-printer-coded tables and diagrams. Did my senior thesis on it using Volkswriter, brought the floppy to the campus laser printer to print two bindable copies. The floppy holding the only copy of the thesis died shortly after.
Once I had my first job I invested in an sx/25 with an actual hard drive. I can't say I miss the PCjr, but I got my money's worth out of it.
