Satellite Dish Return

There's a satellite dish on my roof from the previous owners of my home. I'd like someone to come out and remove it

Once a satellite antenna is installed it becomes the property of the resident, DirecTV does not dispatch technicians to remove them. If it's no longer being used it can be removed by either the homeowner or a local contractor/handyman.

I suggest that the mount plate be left connected to the roof, to avoid possible leaks.

DirecTV does not send techs out to remove anything.

 

Upon install you own everything but the receiver/client boxes. So that dish from the prior owner is now yours.

 

If you have it removed (yourself of someone else), leave the mounting bracket to avoid leaks. Dish goes to metal recycling, but the LNB (the "eye) goes with electronics.
