My condo complex's HOA will not allow satellite dishes
Not legal.
The FCC declared that satellite reception was a "basic right" and that dishes less than about 40" could not be restricted. That result came in 1996 and although it was relaxed slightly in '99, there's still no way for 99.9% of all condo associations to ban dishes. They can require that the dish be placed in a specific location, provided you get at least as good reception there and that installation costs are similar (typically roof, as opposed to a balcony).
The only case where they can legally stop you from putting up a dish is if they provide the same service that you would have chosen anyway (and that the signal they provide is as good as the one you would have gotten from your dish). That's clearly not the case for you, though...
