    Removing Old Cable TV Wires From House Exterior:

    I have what I think is old cable TV wires on the exterior of my house. I am hoping that someone from this forum can confirm from these photos that that is what I am looking at. I know for sure that they are not my Verizon Fios wires. Thank you in advance :)

    Removing a picture from a post

    Evening all.. I've just had my first ever thread deleted which felt a little disappointing, although perhaps justified.
