    Would you have concern in discommoding an entire street, that you just moved onto?

    The cable is on his property, but isn't his property. He shouldn't touch it.


    Oh for FS.

    Nobody has permission to access someone else's roof never mind run a cable across it.

    The person that did this has clearly walked into the LNB arm and knocked out the satellite signal on the OP's dish.

    Virgin media or whatever cable company would have permission to run cables across houses.l If the new owner wants to revoke this permission he'll have to contend with the rest of his neighbours that will be put out by that.

    You don't actually have the right to interfere with private property even when it's left on your property.

    What 'new owner' are you referring to?
    The OP never said they are a new owner, and it is his roof that was accessed without permission.

    Even IF he (or a previous owner) had given permission for cable to be run across his roof that does not imply free and open access to employees/contractors of the cable owners without notice.

    In his position, I would be tempted, if there was no positive response from the cable owners, to disconnect them and throw them off my roof.
    They would have to deal with me then.

    A reasonable inference from the OP’s post and the attendant photos is that the new resident was provided with the cable service by it being newly strung across the OP’s rooof and down onto the adjacent property. At worst, it would be that new resident whose service would be interrupted. If something has been placed on your property without your permission and you can remove it without damaging it and return it to the rightful owner or a place of safety from which they can recover it, not crime or damage will have been committed. The junction box has not been fixed in place. The new cables can be disconnected and the separate pieces placed on the adjacent roofs without having to enter them.

    VM have absolutely no right to run cables across your house or even access your property without giving PRIOR notification.

    Ive been down this road with them in the past when they stuck a ladder up against the house while my daughter(15) was getting changed in her bedroom.
    Told them the cables were getting a hatchet through them if a manager didnt contact me and the manager confirmed they need permission to access your property.

    They need to give at least 24 hours notice for access to your property in writing.
