SKY INSTALL HELP

tommy1979

hey there
i tried to get sky installed in my house a few weeks ago
guy came out and looked and said he could not do it

does anybody know an independent installer in dublin
sky said they would give me contact info for an installer and they were sure they would do it for an extra charge witch is not a problem
#
but it has been 3 weeks now and no contact info

any help would be great

thanks

What reason did the guy give for not being able to do the installation?

tommy1979

first one was
i dont like drilling the wall to get the cable inside
i said well how else do you get the cable in to the house
i got no answer

then he came in had a cup of tee and said he thinks its to high i have to go and get a ladder

when he didnt come back i rang sky they told me i need an independent installer never herd form them again

Tommy i know a good hospital you could go to if thats any help?

in the highly unlikely event you are telling an even 10% version of the truth just be grateful you did not shake his hand or you would have no watch.

maybe he only does the latest sky dishs that are buried underground and wired to the moon.

tommy1979

i kid you not im telling 100% truth
in fairness i live in a first floor apartment so the hight may be an issue

worst thing is i had sky at my old house and im still in contract so i still have to pay for what i dont have

so im hopeing some1 can help

With an independent you'll probably be charged a fee if he's able to do the job. It's not THAT expensive.

You should have gone to a kiosk or a local in the first place and supported our Irish economy and not give Sky Direct all the bobs

He doesnt like drilling walls, omg, what kind of installer is he, if he said he doesnt like drilling window frames Id say somethink...cant understand why Sky would turn the business away as after all all their installers are agents and not directly employed by them...

Maybe it had something to do with that word "appartment" ?

Ever since that big huge thread here, any of the lads call in and say it's an appartment, the reply they get is - And??

Also, I noticed in Skys small print just recently, we only need word of mouth from the customer that they have permission, or planning, so if an install is done, they sign off the work sheet / pda and it's their own baby after that.

Sorry to seem so blunt about it but enough time ( time = money ) has been wasted by engineers going out to jobs and finding it's an appartment etc etc

Its kinda like a fisherman saying he does not like going out on boats:)

Im curious. You said you already have sky from a previous house which your paying for? Is this a re location install or a completly new install?

Seems silly if your paying for 2 subs if you already have an account?

perhaps if you are in a new apartment is that the dish will not be able to go anywhere where it can see the satellite? Can you see the sun around 11am from your balcony?
