i see DN dishes sitting on empty houses.

has anyone taken such a dish? are there any moral or practical issues that i should consider? is there an ethical way to take such a dish? will someone call the cops if i drive up and take a dish from an empty house?

i mean if i take a dish it might not be ethical so i am not sure i want to do it, but i am pretty sure it is a victimless crime since even if someone buys the house, it is unlikely they will be an fta person--and anyone else is just going to get brand new equipment from DN when they move in if they decide to get satellite...

That's the way I come across my dishes. The satellite company don't want them. They know that a new dish is less troublesome to them. They rather supply a new dish with a subscribers account newly created. Be creative and take the dish off the houses that you come across. Tell them that you are a dish removal company and you are willing to remove there dish for free only if you do not have to remove the foot if it is attached to the roof. If they want you to remove the foot tell them that there is a charge for that because you would have to plug up the holes left in the roof. Some houses will have dtv and dn dishes on there rooftops. You know that they are not subscribing to both services. Tell them you are there to remove the one that they are not using. Since the hurricane there are a lot of dishes out of alignment. Tell them that you are contracted to align or remove dishes that were damaged during the storm. If the dish is out of alignment or knocked off of its true elevation and or azima settings then you know right then and there that there is know service at that residence. Take the dish they'll be glad you removed it as it probably an eye sore to them anyway.

ive gotten some from owners of homes that want to go with the other guy. some partially burnt homes by asking owner. and some homes marked for demolition. and one to be hasuled to scrap yard. if i cant ask i dont need it.this way i'm not bothered by it

Some of the nice parts you can find are from apartments; pole mounts good axes and turnover. Most providers like them to stay for the advertisement to the next resident but most managers hate them. A battery saw works the best to cut them off close to the ground. But you can always cut the u bolts too. Just make sheer it is a vacant unit. I have heard stories of manages calling later asking where something went but the person was blind to what he was talking about. Did they leave the dishes on the BBQ? We never noticed. Don’t they clean them in the sink! All so the cable companies with give you a list to ones to remove and boxes. They don’t know what to do with the crap.

Kreep Rules,,,if it's not being used for 30 days then she mine,,,lol
