My Satellite Setup
Finally have SKY! after years of problems
My Location
Guernsey CI
A long time a go, when i first joined, i posted some issues i had before i wanted to upgrade from a cheap box to sky.

It turned out i could get less then 1/2 of the channels in my flat. Personally i could get most of what i wanted, the Docs and sky 1 & 2 along with a handful of other channels. A few more people then got sky in my block, then started to complain that they too were having issues. Then a few months later the whole system failed.

It turned out that the sky was never installed correctly, there were only 2 cables going to the multi switch, and a number of other issues.

Over £1,000 later we now have a new system, and can receive all sky channels.
 
That's great news!

Enjoy your viewing :)

Were you compensated in any way for the incompetence of the original Installer?

It was installed several years before i even moved in to the block. I don't know how long it had been like that, however speaking to some of the other residents there were problems 4 or 5 years ago, and people voted not to fix the system.

So sadly no, We had a new dish, lbn, cabling (to multi switch) and a new multi switch, with enough ports for each appartment to have sky+ if they wish to get it installed

prior to this i had almost a year with sky with a few channels, then the year or so before i got it, then a good 10 years at my previous address where they could not pick up a signal.

It just great to beable to watch all thoes programs I missed.

sad thing was i was without any sky for 2 months when the system failed. and yet once i get it back, there are still so many repeats from sky from when it was last working!

Sadly that is par for the course.

The good thing is that i now have far more channels of stuff i haven't seen, so that should give me a few more months of viewing. I also now have the movie channels as well.

I hope the residents did not pay for it

Yes there were 6 of us, and everyone gave the go ahead to get it done. It was expensive, however a short while later out aerial also failed. So the whole building ended up with no TV at all.
