typical price to run cables from dish...
 
yes i know i should do it for them but....
my parents have a sky dish on the side of their house from when i lived
there - a quad lnd, 2 feeds into my old bedroom.
they now have a tv with integrated freesat - what would be the non rip off
price an installer should charge them to tack a cable from the dish into
their living room?
think they've only asked one so far who says £50....

Although I wouldn't do the work for 50 quid, the price quoted seems
reasonable.

That presumably includes driving to their house as well as doing the work.
Can you find anybody who'd come out for significantly less?

i'm not saying that's a rip off price - just wondering what the ballpark
figure is - for all i know the next guy they phone will say 100, the next 25

If it's any help we'd be looking for £70 + parts + VAT as long as it
took less than an hour.

In my poor little flat sat feeds only are available on the north
side.... I have been quoted 600 pounds to wire me up....... AND an 18
month contract with sky....

And the Freeview feed is poor as we in Norwich are on channels 50 to 68
and the bowtie antenna is a low band.....

Oh well, theres always books to read...

If you mean a 'fireguard' or 'grid' aerial they are inherently
wideband. The low band story sounds like an excuse for a crap system
to me. Why would anyone use a Gp A aerial in Norwich when Taccy is Gp
E or CD? I suppose you could be on the Norwich relay, which is Gp B.
In that case you'd be lucky to get any DTT whatsoever.

The whole place is a bit of a mess, the spec for the building was drawn
up by the developers and is used for all their sites.. A sat dish, a
low band antenna and an FM halo which apparently is muxed with the TV
signal. I get superb AM reception from the Postwick AM relay (BBC 4,
World service, BBC Norfolk and 5 live) so have not had occasion to test
the FM side. Good because DTT is marginal and breaks up with some
weather conditions.

Why the sat dish was only wired to the north side and not both I dont
know. The TV antenna just about pokes above the roof top and stares at
the only hill in Norwich which just about blocks Taccy...

I complained, and was told that I was the only one to do so...
