DirecTv has a simple damage claim department. Take pictures, along with a copy of the lease that states no new wires, and submit it to DirecTv. You can get in contact with them through the generic 877 number for signing up for service.
They might try referring you back to the tenant. Don't allow this. They are required to get landlord permission in ANY rental unit before running, drilling, or mounting ANYTHING. Without a permission form on YOUR letterhead, they HAVE to pay for the repair and reinstall. Get a repair estimate before submitting, and force them to use YOUR repair guy. I've seen them send regular techs out to do repairs, and they DO NOT know what their doing in that regard.

Hi, I realize this is an older message thread but hopefully someone can help! Just went to show my house to a prospective new tenant and I saw that the previous tenant has had directv installed, and not only have they put screw about every 8" to secure the cable, they ran it directly through the front of the house and did a shitty job of sealing it up. The house is wooden, with vinyl siding so now it looks just great. We have pretty harsh winters, these holes are not acceptable. It states in the lease that NO improvements will be made to the house. Is this considered an "improvement" she did not ask permission to do this and directv did not contact me for it. Who is liable for repairs?
