Installation help needed (Surrey/KT14) - URGENT!

Hi,

hope this is the right section, as this is my first post.

I have a bog standard minidish from Sky. I think the Sky installers did a poor job setting up the dish, since with any rain my signal strength goes to nearly a zero.

I have people coming over tomorrow and I'm worried that with a bit of rain, we can't watch telly due to signal loss, so I'm hoping to have this sorted before that...

The dish is set up in the garden, on the ground level on a normal pole. The trouble is that on the direction of the signal, there are some trees, which I think block (part of) the signal when it rains.

If there's someone who would be able to come over to check the alignment and possibly fit a 60cm dish and a longer pole so that the trees would not be a problem.

Also in the near future, I'm interested in putting up a multiroom, which would require additional cabling to be run and possibly some other additions.

If you have the time for a quick fix job, PM me asap with your contact details. Since this is urgent, I'll checking the PMs regularly today and tomorrow.

Thanks!

I got a PM for this message, thanks for that.

For some reason I'm not able to reply to it (because I'm a newbie)?

Could you PM me your phone number or email and I'll send you my contact details.

Here's responses to your questions.

- I'm in Byfleet
- The dish is mounted on the wall, but it's on the ground level
- The reception was ok, when it was installed in January, but then again there was no leaves in the trees back then and now I want a pro to come in and do the work.

Pleased to be of assistance, keep in touch if you need the foreign channels at some point

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