Anyone here familiar with ADA compliance regulations? I ask because we had a situation today and I want to make sure I'm right before I come down on the security guards for it.
The front entrance to our building has one of those buttons on the inner door that people with disabilities can push to have the door open for them when they are leaving the building. Well I found out on cold days the guards shut that button off so the door doesn't stay open for 5 seconds and let cold air in. Today though, I saw an injured firefighter on crutches attempt to leave and the door didn't open for him when he pushed the button. That's how I found out the guards have been turning it off on cold days by the way.
Anyway, the situation made me a little angry because it seems pretty rude to me to cause people with disabilities and injuries some undue hardship just because the guards don't want to feel a little cold air. Then I got to thinking that turning the handicap access function off might also be an ADA violation.
Which brings me to my question: Is the above an ADA violation? I tried looking it up but didn't really find anything solid one way or the other.
The public has access to this building, right? This would be a violation in Canada, since the laws were tightened regarding disabled access to public places.Is the above an ADA violation?
@Commodore I just want to say thank you. I have to use those buttons sometimes.
The public has access to this building, right
Indeed they do. It's City Hall. Kinda blows my mind that this is happening in a government building. Of course the guards are from a private company so maybe I'll remind them that violations of federal law would certainly be grounds for cancelling our contract with them.
They disabled a disabled-access door in your CITY HALL???Indeed they do. It's City Hall. Kinda blows my mind that this is happening in a government building.

Something else that occurred to me; just in case you don't get immediate cooperation from the yahoos. Since it is city hall reduced access is a direct infringement of the most basic aspects of equal representation. The right civil liberties attorney with a hard on for your local government could very easily eat them for breakfast.
So since I don't have cable and I can't connect/disconnect my unit as a rental, this won't work for me? I'm a bit confused.Short answer...connecting your antenna into the installed cable distribution system works fine.
Long answer...
Spoiler :Inside the walls is a connection network that is exactly the same as you would run outside the walls if you were to be connecting multiple devices to your antenna. Various lengths of cable runs connected through appropriate signal splitters are in there. There's also one long cable running (most likely) to an access panel on your floor where the cable company can connect or disconnect each unit. There may be a really long cable running all the way down to a master panel for the whole building. Either way, since you don't have cable it will be disconnected and won't make any difference.

Sweet. I take it all TV's will be slaved to a single single? So if I change channel on one TV, it changes on all of them?
It does not have a tuner and I change channels on the TV itself. It does not have a remote and I didn't have to tune to a specific channel to use the antenna and amp.

I would think if the ship was sinking everyone would be too seasick to eat.
