Bad practice & Nightmare installations

LOL, in fairness a couple of these are probably self install jobs, this one isn't though, like the use of black cable on the white listed pub in historic Beverley.:)

Bl@@dy good job it aint motorized ...

I'd love to see the owners faces when the telly et-al ..started wandering across the room toward the window ..
 
Why bother with an F connector, when you can just ram the cable into the LNB and keep it there with a bit of tape...?

Or hows about an 80cm dish, on a support pole (which was actually a metal pole from a chainlink fence cut down to size) and attached to the wall with just one wall securing plate. And you can tell how lose the dish was, as the direction to the satellites is about 90 degrees to the right.

Sure it's not one of those new HD aerials :-rofl2

Interesting one this.:)

By coincidence I've seen two in the past week round here like that, one of which included cable coming down the front aspect of a new build house, when just around the side was a convenient drainpipe.

I've probably posted this one before, but I still find it amusing.

I spotted this one a few months ago while doing a job next door, well I guess it keeps it out of the way.

Then there's the other one, no really, as I saw it there was someone up there poking about with the aerial! Unfortunately they didn't return before I had to leave.

That ladder climb probably isn't as bad as it looks, although not to be recommended, the ladders are stood on a flat roof, which is at the base of the chimney.

And if the chimney crumbles?
 
Didn't say it was safe, just not as bad as it looks. :-lmao
