    Just had a look at my Sky dish mounted on the wall yesterday, its the usual one with small holes in it and rusty, but the L bracket on the wall is ready to fall off.

    Would Sky give me a new dish ???

    Not usually, it's your dish.

    You can refurbish it.

    Sky will replace it with a new one for whatever the standard call-out charge is now. Alternatively, you might DIY with a cheap StolenFromSky dish off eBay plus a cheap alignment meter.

    Paint the dish and brackets if you want them to last. You can use any colour (but preferably matt and non-metallic) to make the dish less obtrusive against its surroundings.

    Well, some are selling for half the trade warehouse price so it doesn't take a genius to guess...

    For those readers that missed Coffee this morning:

    Sky Installer goes to do Sky Install. Discovers a dish already there. "Pockets" the Sky supplied dish and often LNBF. Doesn't tell anyone except eBay.

    the last sky installer i had call to the house ,cut down the old dish and put up a brand new one as i was getting proper sky in not the DIY job i done myself.

    come to think of it i may have use for the old dish now. i can i pick up 16E on it.
