11. I was wondering about that.

When we bought this house, the rather old dish was firmly bolted to the roof, and the previous owner had been using DISH network.
We wanted to merely transfer the service, but DISH said we had to install a new ..well, a new dish.
We refused, I told them never mind, so they relented, and we used the receivers as well.

Few years later, we dumped the old tvs, being spoiled by computer screens.
We just had to return the receivers and of course the previous owner did not get any money back.
I then asked them to come take their dish back.
They refused.
It's still on the roof.
