    Zero, if you take down the dish and move it yourself. Likewise if the prievous owner of your new home leaves a dish in place.

    Otherwise ask sky.

    Ah, didn't even look at 'the legal bit', just went straight to the FAQs, where there was mention of an up-front payment.

    Bringing the old dish will be a waste of time, it will be corroded and take a lot of hassle to remove without dsmaging it.

    Really! I've moved mine twice in the last 20 years without damaging it. There is no corrosion either, but then I did make sure all the bolts etc were properly greased when first installed 20 years ago. I no longer subscribe to sky and Freesat won't move it so I have no choice anyway.

    In most of Europe it is illegal to call someone without professional qualifications an engineer. Sky are both wrong and unprofessional. So are you it appears.

    Whole I understand it annoying when people bring up the engineer v installer thing, as a real Engineer myself in a completely different discipline, it is shameful that these businesses are allowed to call the installers Engineers.

    As has been pointed out to you before Ireland isn't one of those countries, so your continuous spoiling of threads related to this subject is pointless really.
