Re: Probably the ugliest equipment and install I have ever seen
Why didn't you tell them you wanted a better routing? Not as if there was no-one there when it happened..
When my cable was installed he told me what route he would like to do I suggested a few changes and he was more than happy to accommodate.. In your case I don't see why the box is so far to the left and could of been placed to the right of the window with the cable half obstructed from view coming up the side of said window and then run along the bottom of the roof line. In other words if you (or whoever was there) don't give opinions then they'll do it the simplest way possible.. :doh: |

Is that Omni box there to cover a cable access hole? Thats the only reason I can see for locating the Omni box there.

I had other things to do, and could not stand outside watching them do the install. As some other guys mentioned it was a quick install. Fastest easiest way possible. |

Re: Probably the ugliest equipment and install I have ever seen
Some people come up with the most ridiculous complaints, come on please say "I don't believe it!" for us
I'd like my outside cable to be electric blue with a silver stripe running along it but we can't have everything. I honestly thought this was a joke when i read it and saw that photo of a perfectly neat install |
Re: Probably the ugliest equipment and install I have ever seen
Neat, until you see the two long black cables crossing the white wall.
It would have been neater if they'd actually tacked the cable around the window frame. |

lol you should have gone to spec savers? :) Like I say different people have different standards...it is far from neat. |

You lot are lucky. When mine was installed the engineer drilled through a water pipe!

Re: Probably the ugliest equipment and install I have ever seen
Must admit that does look poor, regardless of routing I would expect cables to be either horizontal or vertical !
On some local installs in my area the cable goes into the house horizontally, ie directly level with a horizontal cable run. I was under the impression that a cable should ALWAYS run vertically down from a wall penetration as this will minimise the risk of water running down the cable and into the wall. I made a wooden box to go over the brown box. It is held on with one screw, can be painted to match the house and does not got in the way of the cables. |
