Uh, yeah. You can actually be evicted for breaching the lease now that you had it installed. So either way you are going to pay by either eviction or a severe penalty. It is their choice.
By federal law, you can't be forbidden from installing/using an over-the-air reception device. But, the landlord may limit where it can be physically installed.
In my area, no dish installers will install without written permission from the landlord. So it would be a moot point, as you couldn't get it installed in the first place without their knowledge. Your local installers may have different policies.
As to whether the landlord has to allow it, it depends on what kind of building you live in and where you are wanting it installed. The landlord has to let you install one anywhere that you have exclusive use of. So for a house, that could be on the roof or in the yard. The landlord can tell you you can't drill holes in the roof to attach it, even on a house, as that would obviously damage the roof. But for a condo or apartment building, it might be only on your patio, which might face the wrong direction to get service, or have trees blocking signal. The landlord is not required to allow you to put the dish anywhere else, so in that case, you could not realistically have dish service.
they cannot stop you from putting up a dish!!! but they can make your life a living hell trying to do it by telling you where they want it placed. as a simple solution to that would be where one can't get the signal. i try and get a non penetraiting roof mount and some cement blocks and some flat cables and run them through a window instead of pissing the LL off and drilling holes Search: non penetrating roof mount - Solid Signal
but than again installing like that might be an insurance issue to as well always best to ask. if it was me id'e want them in the back yard wich faces the north direction so you would not get signal and that would be my right to have them there under law. unless you have a place like a balcony that faces the southern sky then i can't say no though i would charge to to fix the holes..

and those installers can be sued also if they don't get wriiten permission from the LL!!!
