| 1465781 | 2019-12-30 00:13:00 | Hi Merry Xmas to you all I now my own modest home and when I bought it it had a sky disk on the roof. I have never used Sky, and am not into sport and don't watch many movies. There is an unsightly black cable running down the side of my house. I'd like to remove it, but my g/f says leave it there in case I sell the house. I have no plans to sell the house What do you think |

(doubt it will be though) The 3rd - Cant be bothered removing the old Sky Dish from the chimney so its staying until I get around to removing that :) |

| 1465786 | 2019-12-30 02:06:00 | I just painted it the same colour as the house, it's still there but you hardly notice it. Is that a practical solution in your situation? |

| 1465788 | 2019-12-30 02:48:00 | No I've got a brick veneer house with an ugly back cable. So its either removal or leave it there. |
