Digging and water

I live in the Memphis area. Last week AT&T came out and dug a huge hole in my backyard without notice. Do they have the right to do this? Kind of related, I went and looked and we haven't had much rain in the past month, but there is a foot of water in the hole. Is that normal?

Intermittent Black Screen

Around April 30th I started to notice a partial or full black screen while watching Direct TV.
