Sky Digital/other installer in Naas area?

Here's what I have:

One 60cm dish, one free-to-air receiver.

Moving to Naas, and want to sign up for Sky Digital with two receivers in the same room (one to be used for TV capture). I also want to have my existing dish installed pointing at Astra 19.2E.

While I'm at it, I was thinking that if I have a quad LNB on the sky box, it would be worth connecting the two dishes through a diseqc switch to the FTA receiver.

Finally, might as well run a fourth cable from the sky dish to connect to a DVB-S capture card in the PC some time in the future.

So, does that sound like a reasonable project or would it cost me the earth? What's my best way to proceed? Sky online would charge me €69 for the two boxes (with free installation) and a couple of other money-saving offers, but presumably then I would need to get someone else out to install the other bits and pieces. Would I be better off getting in touch with a local Sky installer and organising it through them?

Any comments/recommendations appreciated, and particularly if anyone would like to quote me for the whole deal, and/or just the second dish installation, diseqc switch and two cables part, that would be great!

It may be possible to order from sky and then have a chat with the installer when he comes to do the extra work, they are pretty badly paid so may be more than happy to make a few extra quid. Quality wise though a local independent is generally better although i do not know of any in the Naas area.

Thanks Tony - food for thought. I guess the advantage of organising it up-front would be that I'd know it would definitely get done and (at least approximately) how much I was going to have to pay. On the other hand, I guess I might save some dosh by the other route. Decisions, decisions...
