    Info Cheapest new sky dishes and lnb's?

    anyone know where is the cheapest supplier for sky dishes in the uk, I need them to come with the lnb. ive got a supplier on ebay for £15 but they take 2 weeks to come. surely there must be someone or somewhere that's cheaper. maybe in Manchester or anywhere else. if you know anywhere can you let me know please as im going to be wanting a few. im setting up a sky installation service so I need a good genuine and cheap supplier.

    thanks

    why dont you slightly overstock. Honestly i have checked a few high street shops and they are too pricey but not sure on prices up north. Ebay is your best bet imo.

    If you are working with existing dishes the common fault is the LNB gets water damaged. I would recommend stocking a few LNBs just in case.

    hi m8, yeah we got a couple of lnb's but the main customers will be ones who have never had sky before, we installed a dish/setup yesterday which I got from ebay for £15 but I don't mind spending 2k-3k if it meant I could get them a lot cheaper

    Have you asked the ebay seller if they will do bulk discount for an offsite sale? The savings in ebay/paypal fees should be worth a couple of £ alone

    Cheapest place I've found lately is a rundown estate thats about to get ripped down in my area.

    Plenty of condemned buildings with Sky dishes on the side that have... er... grown legs.
    Collared three with Quad LNB's for family members FreeSAT boxes the last few weeks.

    Obviously asked the site manager permission before removing a few. He was cool with it seeing as they would just end up in a skip.
