Hi everyone, i have sky coming tomorrow to fit my new dish etc, the problem is i want the dish up on the chimney but people say they wont go up on the roof? i was gonna get the roof ladder out all ready for them too! if they dont i wonder if they would let me bolt the thing up there for them, to complete the install  | ||

I would doubt it but I am not an installer. it is not advisable to fix anything to your chimney stack especially something that increases wind shear on the stack

Is there any particular reason why you want it up there?

Electrical regulations where you are must be more relaxed than they are here in the UK, it's amazing how some countries' power grids haven't melted away!!!
