To ask neighbour to remove sat dish?

[Girlincognito1]

Just walked out of my door thus morning and noticed a freaking satellite dish attached to the front of our house!! I've come to work to calm down a bit but I can't believe the brass neck! Would I be unreasonable to go around and ask them to remove it and make good the holes?? What if they decline??

[DuoTwo]

Glad it's sorted. I was a shocked to see quite how far it was onto your property. 😂

I hope you have a tv license op. That dish could be interpreted as yours to tvl.
Could be the reason why it's not on their house. No license.

[Cuppaoftea]

As long as they follow their words with swift action and don't think brushing your DH off was easier than they thought it would be.

I'd still remove the dish and force them to deal with fixing it to their own property quickly if they want to watch their new Sky channels.

[Fucktifyno]

Oh... i am sort of disappointed! sorry OP

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

What a reasonable ending you should have made something up

[OhWotIsItThisTime]

I once got home from work to find a dish installed above my front door. A flat downstairs and several doors down had done it. They seemed most confused by me wanting it removed.

[SpookyPotato]

Glad you didn't send the note, it's abrupt and not very neighbourly... unless they regularly cause you all sorts of problems!

[ChasedByBees]

Hope they do get it sorted now

[UrsulaPandress]

I didn't think your note was rude

Did they rush round when they got home to apologise?

Were they not home during the installation?

Chancers.

Mine is on the back of my house. This one needs to be likewise on your neighbours.

[Jeanneweany]

Why dont you ring sky and tell them to remove it. They may have made an error. This avoiding the uncomfortable wtf conversation with the neigbours.
I was buying a house and the next door neighbour had a whopping great sign. So i reported them to the council.

[SoupDragon]

Why don't you read the thread, Jeanneweany?

[Goldfishjane]

I don't think the note was rude at all.
If I was the neighbour I'd not be annoyed by it.

[Jeanneweany]

Soupdragon cos there are hundreds of replies and ive got a life.

[cocobatter]

then ctrl + f the op's username and skip to the updates. takes 5 seconds.

[SnugglyBedSocks]

Jeanneweany - we all have a "life" but we also don't waste other's time by posting pointless comments.

[SoupDragon]

Soupdragon cos there are hundreds of replies and ive got a life.

There aren't hundreds of posts by the OP though. Maybe take the time to read those.

[Craftylittlething]

Slightly off thread but we had a neighbour who connected to our sky so that she could have it free. She was pissed off when we cut the cable, some folk are just baffling.

[halobean]

Ohhhhh I had popcorn ready and everything :( How totally reasonable of everyone involved! At least there was a photo!

[snarferson]

Far too reasonable a solution. Must be a

[Jeanneweany]

Mumsnet is fun not dreary with the post police riding the airwaves.

[Jeanneweany]

Yawn

[Jeanneweany]

What is pointless is the truly dumb responses. Some of the replies are irrelevant. Thus is the Guardian or some political summit deciding the future of mankind. It is for fun. Because if it is not fun then are you joking??

[Jeanneweany]

To clarify. Sometimes you merely have to think a little. To avoid a confrontation then find out the facts. So rather than confront the neighbour directly contact the company first, in case it has nothing to do with the neighbour.
