You property doesn't even include the air inside of your house. There are laws on the books that make it illegal for you to watch television signals that originate from other cities via satellite despite those signals being beamed onto the roof your your home. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a proponent of broadcast signal piracy but I do think the onus should be on the broadcaster to make their signals unwatchable without the agreed upon subscription, and not criminalizing the viewer for accessing a signal that without his consent landed on his property. Owning equipment that can descramble other city satellite signals and even books instructing you how to do so can make you subject to civil and possibly criminal liability.
The gist is your local TV stations want exclusive rights to your TV viewing of ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, PBS and NBC. Due to their power to help or harm politicians' public image, the TV station lobby got them to make federal laws that make sure you can only watch the local TV stations that are in your city. To understand their position, their business model is based on being able to sell your eyes and ears to local businesses for advertisement revenue. However if you're watching Big Brother from the Dallas station but you live in Houston, the Houston TV station can't make any money off of you. Problem is, what if the Houston station cancels Big Brother that night to run their hurricane preparedness special? Or What if you're from Dallas but you moved to Houston for a job but still want to watch local Dallas news? Enter big government to tell you no you can't even though the technology of 2013 that wasn't yet invented when TV first went on the air makes it possible. In fact right now regardless of where you live New York, Los Angeles and a few other out of town cities' TV stations are being beamed onto the roof of everyone's home in America. Use to live in LA and want to watch the LA evening news? Sorry, its against the law. In case anybody was curious. Similar laws are on the books regarding cell phone signals that enter your home without your consent but for different reasons.
