I bought an HDTV, my apartments won’t let me drill holes, Now What??
I bought an 42″ HDTV and I knew that when I brought it home the picture would be crappy because we just have basic cable through the apartments. I asked my landlord if we could get a sattelite and she said that would be fine as long as the sattelite was free standing (not attached to the building) and we didn’t drill any holes in the wall, basically we had to have flat wires that can be shut in the door.
So I signed up for DirecTV HD service and made sure they knew the stipulations according to our apartments. Well, the guy came to install it today and the first thing he said was that I was NOT going to be able to have the HD service because HD signal would not travel through flat wires. I told that I wanted to just cancel the installation if I could not get HD.
So anyway, now I have a great wonderful big flat screen TV with a really bad picture and Im bummed about it! What can I do? Do I just have to wait til I move somewhere else? Im sad 
Are you saying you get basic cable through the apt complex (meaning they pay for basic)?
If that’s the case ask the landlord if you can upgrade to HD cable and pay the difference. No holes will be drilled you will just be given a new HD cable box.
