Well, installer has been (had a trainee with him) and we're up and running and was easier than expected
We've only had 1 HD box and a Standard Box, must have got confused about the 2 HD boxes, something to query with the rep!!
Anyway, he's put the dish on the chinmey, didn't even ask for it go there he just put it there so was happy with that. The HD cable he's dropped from the dish down the rear wall, tacked it in place and fed it into the groundfloor room and put that plastic cover on to hide the entry hole so that was pretty straightforward.
The other cable was taped to an old aerial cable that fed into the loft so all they did was feed it into the loft from outside and I just pulled it through and routed it myself from the loft down into the rear bedroom, they just tacked the cable to the bedroom wall and setup the box!!
So, all that speculation and it was nowt to worry about! One thing they never mention is they have to drill a hole in your wall to temporarliy put in an eye bolt so they can secure their ladders while working!! They did plug it up and it's under the window ledge so wasn't too miffed at that, just wasn't expecting it, but it had to be done for them to continue.
Overall the 2 guys were very understanding and didn't complain. So big
to Sky and the installers. Now to wait for September 1st for the BT line to be installed and see how good their broadbad (sic) is!
