UAE cracks down on illegal satellite TV dishes on rooftops, balconies
The Abu Dhabi City Municipality launched a campaign to crack down on the installation of illegal satellite TV dishes atop roofs of buildings and houses in Musaffah, Khaleej Times reports.
The civic rules stipulate that a building is allowed to have a maximum of four dishes, and those should provide the rest of the connections to satellite TV subscribers.
Residents have also been urged not to put up dishes on their balconies, as the act is considered a penal offence.
Any individual found to violate the rule faces a fine of Dh2,000 and also legal action, they added.
