    How much are you charging? I need a dish installed (I also need the dish if you provide that?). I already have a sky subscription, box and card.

    Depending on what area you plan covering, it may not be easy to get enough installations per week.

    It might be worthwhile going a bit broader, by installing various other satellite systems, like systems for Poles, etc and not rely totally on people asking for Sky

    The number of people getting Sky now is a lot lower than a few years ago, as most people who wanted it already have it now. Though there are the likes of Sky+/SkyHD upgrades, and multiroom installations.
