It's BS that they can't use the existing lines. I built townhouses 5 years ago and the first installer tells me he can't use the existing cables but had to install new -- I insisted he hook up to the existing lines and it worked fine. This is some "policy" the servicer/provider cooked up to justify the install charge. I'd insist DirecTV remove and repair the roof mount and cable instrusion immediately, and then write up install instructions for your tenant. In my town, the installers won't install on any house unless you are the owner or can provide a permission letter from the owner -- my permission letter includes specific install instructions for the installer. Any deviation and we require immediate remediation. Most installer/providers have insurance to cover this damage.

Thx for your input OK-LL. When they hooked it up to your coax, did you have cable TV and/or internet running as well as DirecTV? I'm curious if coax can support cable TV and/or internet and DirecTV, regardless of their "policies." My tenant was nice enough to send me pictures of the coax install this morning so my next step is to call DirecTV and ask what they were thinking. Would you be willing to share the instructions you put together for DirecTV installs?
