Sky installer laid cable inside my roof gutter!

I just discovered that my Sky+ installer has laid cable inside my roof
gutter. It isn't pinned in there - it's just lying in the bottom of the
gutter for about 5 metres and getting submerged in water during heavy
rain - and presumably helping leaves and other small debris to build up
in the gutter.

Is this normal practice?

Small debris and leaves normally do build up in the gutter, yes. You
should clean it out occasionally.

The cable could possibly rot quicker than it would normally.

Thinking also where the cable enters and exits the gutter,It could block
smaller debris at either point and cause a blockage, I'd ask Sky to get the
installer back to re-route the cable.

Pehaps he was thinking along the lines of Sky News when doing it Gutter
press and then thinking of dog-ridden channels making it Gutter TV ;-)

That's not good enough.
