I have a rental property. The tenants moved out and left a Direct Tv
satellite dish on the house. Their lease states that after they give
notice to move, and have finally left the premises, any items left on
the property become the property of myself (the landlord). These
tenants moved a year ago. They keep calling me and saying they want
their satellite dish. I have made them aware that they no longer own
the thing, and if they attempt to remove it, I will have them
prosecuted for trespassing and theft (they left on very bad terms,
owing rent money, etc).

Yesterday I was doing some work on the building and I removed the
dish, and brought it home with me. First off, I dont want it hanging
on the house for no reason, secondly, I dont have to deal with these
idiots calling me anymore, and third, I may be able to sell it, "IF"
they become property of the homeowner........ That's where my
question arises. Are these rented from the Direct Tv company, or do
the homeowner (user) buy them? I dont want to sell it if it belongs
to the company. Otherwise it goes in my scrap metal pile....

Thanks

They are part of an equipment package provided by DirectTV in exchange for a
specified contract. Technically, it would belong to the company if the
renters did not complete the terms of their contract.

I purchased a dish and receiver in a big box store years ago.

I seriously doubt DTV would want to "mess" with the old stuff. Rupert
is busy :-)

We could always ask OJ. He paid DTV/Rupert 34K for the hacked cards :)
