Broken Sky Dish

    I'm looking for someone who could repair a wind damaged sky dish, even temporarily, before Sunday. Ordinarily I could live without the TV for a few days but we're big F1 fans in this house and the final race of the season is on this weekend. It's just come loose from the bracket and is hanging at an angle. I've tried putting it back in position myself but still getting the 'no satelite signal is being received' message. I'm based in the Newcastle area

    If anyone can help please PM me. Thanks

    If it swivels left or right try to point it at the sun at 11am tomorrow, precisely, and if that works tighten the nuts before the next storm willya :)

    If you can't find anyone get a VGA cable(€10) in town tomorrow and watch it online with the pc attached to the tv. It's very quick and easy to set up a VPN or use a proxy if you can only find streams that are not available to Ireland .

    I was glad last night listening to the wind that we no longer had to worry about our sky dish being out of whack after the storm as we've now moved to UPC. We were without any tv for nearly a month but didn't miss much at all because it could all be found online.

    If its rust you need a new dish I'd say. Living by the sea and all that.

    Howdy, can you pm me the name & number of who you are getting out?

    We need to move our dish and currently looking for prices, some charging 80 euro for the call out!

    Thanks!
