Bill Yeah, that silicone around the hole being missing really affects Setanta reception. Interesting ladder to use. Was at a customers house today where they where getting poor Setanta reception. As it turned out the box was faulty and dish was fine. Bad tuner. Setanta had talked him through a few things then told him that he would need to contact a local installer to check the dish/box. I've been to several jobs like this and usually the tuner of the old pace box rather than the dish... Glenn... -- Glenn Millar - TV Aerials www.glennmillar.plus.com |

Bill Yeah, that silicone around the hole being missing really affects Setanta reception. The guy was just trying to be clever. "I'm the big ****in' expert!" Interesting ladder to use. Not exactly industrial grade was it? Was at a customers house today where they where getting poor Setanta reception. As it turned out the box was faulty and dish was fine. Bad tuner. Setanta had talked him through a few things then told him that he would need to contact a local installer to check the dish/box. I suppose Setanta are really getting a free ride on the back of Sky's dish/box universe. I've been to several jobs like this and usually the tuner of the old pace box rather than the dish... Every communal system we do turns up a few faulty boxes. It's tedious. Bill |

"Mike Henry" wrote in message news:[email protected] On Watchdog they'd been telling people who spent a fortune hanging on the phone that they would "boost the signal to their box" - this piece of absurdity went unchallenged by all the experts later on. :-( Yes the call center not knowing difference between satellite and terrestrial transmission. Looks like CS talking digital terrestrial turn up of power following analogue switch off. -- Regards, David Please reply to News Group |

The guy was just trying to be clever. "I'm the big ****in' expert!" Surely he was just in the middle of listing the catalogue of horrors that is part of many installations carried out by Sky, but then got cut off? It's true that the brick was blown, the hole wasn't sealed, the dish only had two bolts etc. I'm delighted that that part of the sentence survived the editing process, and hopefully as a result of it people will be a bit more wary of shoddy Sky installers in future. Perhaps the problem was he was cut-off mid-sentence, and the editing may have made him sound more pompous than he was. The bit about Eurobird being in a different location to Asda 2A/B/C/D wasn't explained simply enough, and would have been far clearer with a simple graphic (enhanced in the style of "Sky At Night" graphics) IMHO. Well since Sky are members of the CAI and Kevin is the CAI's inspector, surely he should be conducting an investigation into Sky, Sky's installers, their workmanship and whom they use as subcontractors.
