    Our 110cm dish is not working in rain
    I want to ask a satellite guy to fine tune to the Thor West 0.8 again
    What is the price for this readjustment?

    Could depend on the condition of the dish, if there's heavy corrosion from rust it's often better to replace the entire dish. I'd say an adjustment could be in or around €75 to €100.

    Overheads, fuel, insurance, labour. It all adds up. Getting to a job and supplying a service, if its only 2 minutes work doesn't mean the job will cost a tenner.

    Are they need 68 liters of petrol to readjust the dish?
    If you are coming from Donegal and you car is a V8 it is still ridiciously high amount of money

    Time as well. Getting to, and from, where you live needs to be accounted for. Maybe if they were based right next door to you they might do a deal, but if they are based on the other side of town, that's a fair bit of time you'll be taking up.

    Ah yeah Im sure you'll find a few cowboys doing nixers while on the dole for a ham sandwich.. See what happens when they fall of the ladder on your car.

    Where is the dish located? Post a pic. I'm sure DIY might be an option.

    No its not unless the technician doing the work lives next door to you and even then I've never seen anyone unload and erect a ladder safely in two minutes let alone adjust a dish.

    Why oh why doest the line "it only takes a few minutes " almost always appear in these threads.

    I can just imagine this guy. Hops on the bus to your house, then jumps on your bin and starts looking for the satellite with a 9.99 Lidl sat finder!
