[TheList] Question from the Village idiot

Hi Bob,
As Denis said,
If you have a current UHF aerial that gets a decent signal, don't bother putting a dish up.

Regards to #2, maybe the technicians are flat out like the rest of us, I did Sky installs/repairs for about 2 years back when it was UHF only, pretty much, it's not good for the soul if you believe in things like workmanship and good trade practice.
Sky pays their installers so little money per install, that you have to do it this way, this is why you see the odd dish bolted to the sides of houses and about 3 cable ties in the whole installation.
And yes there have been complaints, but what else do you do?
I went back to commercial/industrial wiring to get some respectability back into my work.
Never again.

Subject: [TheList] Question from the Village idiot

off topic but what else is there?

Couple of questions

1. Spare TV in bedroom gets TV 1 and TV2, if I put 
a freeview box in this line will it get freeview?or does it need another aerial 
?

2. Why does it take 23 days for sky repair man to 
come out to replace a few feet of cable?

3. Will sky cable affect the taste goat meat when I 
kill the freaken beast for eating the cable??
