| 1465791 | 2019-12-31 07:18:00 | 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 got a pic of the dish? including how its fixed to the roof. i would just leave it there as it works for freeveiw or any other sat service which may come along in the future. i would only remove it if the install was dodgy and could be a liability to the house. |

| 1465796 | 2020-01-02 02:50:00 | couple of issue with cutting the cable, one is can replace it later on should you need to use it? the other thing is its not good to leave cut cables out in the open. your better to remove the old cable completely and seal up any holes in walls etc. i have had tv's that have died because water has gone down the cable, dripped into the tv and shorted it out. so much better to disconnect it off the dish and remove the whole cable. |
