Sky Installers

    Right friends of mine ordered sky about 1/2 weeks ago. Sky Said they install it yesterday (thursday) in time for christmas. Card arrived during the week but no word from installers so my friend rang sky yesterday and they said that the installers (finlay) couldnt get in contact and cancelled the installation. Sky took down the number wrong (it was missing 1 digit). Couldnt the stupid b*st*rds of looked in the phone book or rang directory enquiries cos they had the full name and address?!!

    Anyway, they said the next date was 30th December.

    Do any of you think that my friends will be able to get it before xmas?? If they ring Finlay directly? Does anyone have a number for them? Couldnt find them in the Golden Pages.

    If i got an independant to do it - how much would it cost and would the independant get the equipment from Sky??

    I ordered Sky HD two weeks ago tomorrow. Sky had installation down for 16th january. I then rang Finlay with job ref no. and they offered to do it on the weekend before last. I couldnt be there for that but it was rearanged for last saturday and it was installed.

    Give an independant installer a ring instead of sky directly, a card usually takes 3 to 5 working days to arrive, I myself usually organise the install of dish after 2-3 days of ordering the card so that the customer is up and running as soon as possible....to wait for over a month is madness.

    HEY STEVEON,

    THANKS FOR THE REPLY.

    maybe it would be to late to give an independent installer a ring nw after i ordered the sky + on wednesday and payed the installation fee and price of box (half price). 64 euro sumtin i paid. hoping i recieve the card aswel nw shortly.

    anyone want my phone number of any det.ails feel free in leave me a private msg. thanks
