Are you looking for someone to supply and install for €150 or just to install. If its just for an install thats quite a lot but if on the other hand its for the dish, box and install, I'd say you would be doing very well to get somebody to do it for you.

Guy's,

What would you usually charge for an install? Digibox, FTV card and dish would be supplied. However coax etc would be needed.

Is there any legitimate satellite dealers who just do installs only. I have all the equipment, I just don't have the time or patience to install it myself.

Not normally as it can be a problem if a fault develops which means you will be asked to go back and check the install when the fault may well be in the equipment which I did not sell so it can lead to A. not being paid for your time and B. customer may become annoyed/frustrated. I have though fitted dishes ,for example an Italian gentleman who purchased a brand new decoder for sky Italia, this is very similar to a digibox so its easy to find your way around the menus with limited knowledge of the language. From speaking with other installers it seems most feel the same way. I've upgraded a few Lidl owners to motorised too

Usually €100 to 150 depending on a number of things
a. travelling time, if this is excessive I'd usually advise someone to try get a local installer first. (people always say "it only takes me ten mins to get home

)
b. If cable run is long or difficult
c. If the house is facing south which means a stand off bracket to keep the dish out of sight, this obviously adds to time and material cost.

Hopefully this is not off topic but is the idea of keeping the dish out of sight because of planning laws.
Nobody ever bothers about that here in Donegal
