Cranfield Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Having never quite embraced the Technical Revolution, can someone please explain to me what happens when Sky come to install a Sky box. So that we can watch Sky in different rooms (my Wife hates sport), I have decided to buy her the box as a birthday present (she doesn't know about the "present" bit yet ) They are coming at the end of this month to instal it and I would like to know what to expect.

Ferret Master Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi, They will install the satalite dish and connect this to the sky box which is then connected to the T.V. They may need to do some drillling in the wall. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenzie Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 The also walk mud into your house,leave everything covered in brick dust and staple cables to your skirting boards. Yea real great. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I already have Sky , so I assume I don't get another dish. Do they split the feed from my current dish and run a cable to the new TV location ? This could be a problem, as its quite a distance and I don't want cables all over the place. Especially with their "basic" free installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waddy Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 They will run the second cable from the dish also, they should literally run it as a new installation (less the dish obviously) My neignbour has 2 boxes and i was confused (until he told me) why there were 2 wires running from the dish. Should look a little like this........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipster Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Or it could end up like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks for the info Gentlemen. I will have to work out a discrete route for the cable before they get here. I don't want it running down walls in full view, either outside, or inside. It might be better if I get them to fit the piece on the dish and leave the cable routing until I can get a "proper" Installer in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
