Pro Sky Installation
Discussion
I'm going to sort out SkyHD shortly for my new house but based on previous experience, the folks that come round are more interested in drilling holes in window frames and following cable round your skirting board.
Fair enough.
....but my walls are freshly plastered and i really really do not want someone drilling through my window frames.
Is it possible to pay them for a better installation? Ideally i'd want the sky dish mounted on an pole at the gable end of the house. Looking at other dishes in the area i know it'd need to be mounted on the front of the house above the living room window - and i'd like to try and avoid that. Then i'd like the wires to go in to the loft space and down through the centre of the house. The wall the tv is going on is an internal wall - timber stud/plasterboard - and i'd like the cables fed down through that.
What are your thoughts?

Pick your aerial contractor well and they might be able to supply you with everything and do the job to your specification, subsidising what they can through Sky.
If you book the install through Sky centrally they get a fixed price per job, hence wanting to get in and out with the smallest amount of work.
You're far better off getting the job done right than cheap.

agree 100%
i'm not really bothered about how much it costs but i also don't want to pay for something i can get for free (ie: the dish / box etc)
I've got a friends and family voucher code which gets me the full packages for half price and i wasn't sure if i'd be able to use that through a contractor, that's all.
plus i want the phone done at the same time, which i'm not sure if they could arrange?
