Roof replacement/DirecTV dish

My DirecTV dish is mounted on my roof and I am about to have the shingles replaced. What is the standard procedure? Does your technician remove the dish before the roofers begin and then reinstall it when they finish or do the roofers deal with all this?

direcTV won't Remove the dish, you can have them reinstall after the roof work  it's a $49.95 charge plus any additional custom mounting.

You can usually have the roofers remove the dish. Then call DirecTV to reinstall .... 1 800 531 5000.

Make sure that the dish is removed my the roofers BUT NOT INSTALLED AGAIN! 90% of the time the roofers will not install it correctly and the DTV tech will have to reinstall the dish. Just have the roofers remove the dish and mount and lay the assembly on the ground. If they have to cut the coax, that's fine. Just schedule an appointment for a tech to reinstall the dish to save you any extra headache or work.

I have a satellite on my roof, but it is not mine as I have Cablevision. What do I do as no one will come forward to claim it.

See my response in your other post.  The dish becomes property of the homeowner, so you can hire anyone you want to remove it.
