When I first glanced at the first picture, I thought it was a dead bird. Guess I need glasses....So went on a service call today because 8 rooms where not working.
It was originally wired in the walls with 1 Dish. Apparently another tech couldn’t figure it out. Drilled holes in every room and ran 42 lines to the roof.
Issue was a bad LNB.
I did not do this job BTWView attachment 145741
Gawd what a mess. ...
Why did the tech think he needed 42 coax runs to four dishes?
And didn't he know you're supposed to use cinder blocks on NPRM sleds for that type of installation?

I think it was a residential tech that didn’t know how to fix an issue with a SWM system.
His solution was to run all new wires and install 7 dishes
IMHO sounds like a "clueless at&t crosstrained"tech that had no business on this type of call. Just another way they are running dtv in the ground to upsell their own sh*t.

You do have to clean up the mess, then install the standard commercial hotel/lodging D2 advantage type cabling and equipment from the dish on down to the SWiM splitters and homeruns to the rooms don't you?Pretty much clueless.
Customer wants to pay us to clean it up. I don’t know where to begin.
Do I keep the lines the other tech ran to the roof, or do I try to fire up the swm system and use the lines in the walls.
I’m actually thinking of just getting rid of all the dishes, home running the splitters back to the main electrical closet and being done with it.
However you leave it, it’s your name on it now. And your reputation.
