[Rey]

I was looking at a few homes today and came upon this home that had directv installed but imo it looked pretty bad. i was curios what some of you think. here are some pics

Looks like a major eye sore to me, if that were my place I would make sure I was nice to EVERYONE other wise Id be paranoid someone could come by and cut my cord! :rant:

Well, it is ugly, but isn't that sop for installations without wall fishes or basements?

My first question would be "How the hell does a dish without an LNB work anyway?"

Secondly, I hate white coax...not sure why, but for me coax is supposed to be black....but if it works & it makes you happy then....so be it Jedi!

the lnb isn't on there which isn't an issue but the rest is kind of an eye sore.

i guess there was no other way to do it. not sure, but it looks bad either way.

The missing LNB is one thing, but the alignment of the dish is another.
Not to mention what looks like a missing multiswitch.

yeah but those things are fixable. the mess of cables for all to see is what worries me the most. outside and inside the house. those other things i already have

Who's place is this ?
Hopefully someone you know ?

The drip loops are about half the diameter they should be.

Obviously someone already whacked the dish and pulled some screws out.

The dish isn't missing an LNB it is missing the LNB support arm that is welded on with 4 spot welds. You might as well remove the eyesore it is useless.

There is a reason why apartment installs need the permission of the building owner. When that mess comes down there will be many holes to patch. Them many dots to paint.
The white cable makes it worse.

Painting the whole rig beige after replacing the broken LNB arm might help.

Yeah, Rey, that looks pretty bad IMO.

It looks like the LNB support is zip-tied to the mast.

 

[Mr Tony]

damn...who would use bright white cable for the install?

I've seen worse...but not that many

 

[Rey]

thanks for the opinions guys. i passed on the house anyway. not because of this of course .

 

[sean321]

I like the ungrounded ground block

 

[iwc5893]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the exterior of the house stucco?

I thought that was a huge no-no for DirecTV installers to mount to.

 

[KimmiKat]

That looks like an Redneck install!
