Re: Satellite Dish
They are "improperly flashed" when installed that way.
Remove the dish, replace the now damaged shingles, install pitch pans and properly flash and fill the pitch pan.

Re: Satellite Dish
Dish techs in Houston area love to lag bolt them into roofing near near the soffits. Although I have seen several near the roof ridge with the cable routed through plumbing vents. They drill a hole in the vent line inside the attic then run the cable through the vent.
Cable techs arent much better. I have seen several ran through brick without even putting any type of sealant on them. Worst yet, they didnt even have drip loops. Remember, they used to use chain for down spouts. A coaxial cable is an excellent conduit for channeling rain water into a home if not correctly done.

Re: Satellite Dish
In defense of cable and sat installers, I checked out a company called Insatlls.com that does the installs for BestBuy and others. They pay $75 to install a dish and a reciever in a house. I don't know why a company would work for that rate unless they could do one a hour. That is way you see shody work on these installs. BTW...you warranty the install for a year plus furnish all material execpt for the dish and the reciever.
