I know I'll have to ask the cable company about their liability, but it
just seems crappy to have to put a neighbor thru the hassle if there is
a problem ruining their sprinkler lines.

Our home owner association requires a contractor to have a type of
Bond (not sure the exact name) to cover potential damage to a
neighbor's property. This is not always the case, it depends on the
type of work. For example a crane may be needed to set large
landscape trees or a spa, etc.. into a back yard. If something
happens that damages the next door house, property, etc., the Bond is
there to cover cost of the damage.
