    Default Dish Installation

    Need to know if I have received a good quote today.

    Collared an engineer putting a dish up at a neighbours this morning as I need mine relocating (big tree in the way).

    To put it on the chimney and run 2 lengths of shotgun from it (one to front of house, one to back) he has quoted me £160.
    This seems reasonable to me as it cost £90 for a guy to connect the aerial back up last year, however I want to make sure I am not been ripped off.

    He is moving the dish (I presume) so no new dish and it has a 4 way LNB. So it is the relocating to the chimney and the new cables he is doing.

    Should mention that I only have FreeSat HD, no $ky.

    Thanks.

    I wouldn't be comfortable putting a dish onto a chimney. They can cause serious damage. It must be a really big ass tree though

    It is right in the line of sight.

    Looking at neighbours set ups, it is right at the base of the Chimney.
