[QUOTE="H3lp-N33d3d, post: 1035714, member: 411858"] Hello all, My wife and I recently bought a new-built in Caddington (Luton) , we have been promised since then that Sky and Virgin would be working like a glove just a few days later; forward 7 months and internet speeds reach 0.25mb/s - that's correct [B]0.25mb/s[/B] - and no signs of good TV signal. Sadly that means no stable Netflix nor internet TV. Worth noting that it is worth mentioning that this is a 3 storey-high detached house, and that all cabling leads to the loft; and more importantly, we don't have satellite nor aerial installed and hence our post here. I am currently looking into installing a 80cm Satellite dish for the the official TV receiver that we have from the portuguese provider (NOS). In addition we would also be interested in getting UK tv, so either Sky / Virgin or Freesat. We could also potentially consider to get an aerial installed. The ideal situation is that we can use either satellite in the any of the 4 rooms we would want to see TV. All rooms already have pre-installed cabling for satellite and aerial, except for one; the one lacking is the office just below the loft which means it is within easy access, but a media plate would need installing. I don't want to have to spend a fortunate to get a dish (or two), installed and fully functional. Any ideas on what is the best solution for me and what would be the price I should expect to pay for such work? Also, any recommendations on how to improve my internet speeds? OpenReach says we are in the plans to get Fibre within hopefully 12 months, but I work from home and this is just too slow to manage Skype calls. Thank you for all your help! Cheers [/QUOTE]
