I recently got dish hooked up by an independent contractor. My wife was there during the install, when I got home, the guy did what I consider to be very poor work. For starters, he drilled straight through my exterior wall instead of running it down the wall(we have a 2 story house), he didn't put any kind of seal around the cords sticking out of the wall, didn 't attach wall plates, didn't put a cover on the outside box, etc., etc., It looked like it was installed by a 5 year old run amok.

I'm wondering where can I get the technical specs that installs are supposed to be governed by. I know there are standards for cable loop sizes, cable types, and things of that nature.

I've got a QA guy coming to take a look at it, but he's from the contractor's company, so I want to make sure he covers all the bases.

Please, any and all help is much appreciated.
