....That the satellite guys should have to bury their cable more than 3/4" deep. Especially where I want to plant a tree.
Are you sure that's for the satellite? That looks like two wire direct burial electrical cable. The satellite guys - at least in my area - use RG-6 coax.
You know things like this make me feel double my age and cranky.
Can only agree, what a dumbass would just string a cable across the grass essentially.
I agree with Jim, looks like a strange cable to use for cable. Looks like what i saw used back in SA as telephone cable (two wire) strung on exterior telephone poles in aubdivision.
Dont see no shielding like one has with co ax . Whats your cable signal quality like.
I did a little more investigation. The 'ridge' on the side of the cable is a ground wire. The cable is coax. The dish is grounded to the connection block on the side of the house via this ire.
