I need a dish putting up and have been quoted: £196.00 and £89.00+vat.
This is becoming very frustrating, are these prices reasonable, when you consider that the system is already connected, I just need the dish changing?

Depends on

Is it a quote based solely on info over the phone
Size of dish,
location of house/building,
ease of install
Fixed or motorised
whether you are supplying the equipment
How many cups of tea you will make him/them

Naturally if the installer is comeing to you 'blind' and unfamiliar with the receiver, they will quote more.

If its a half day job to replace, expect £120+, if they have to reset the machine and store new data, this may take the rest of the day.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
