I've just come across another of his where he charged for a 2.7 and fitted a 2.5. and this one doesn't work either. I hear he can't actually buy any 2.7s

Zorba · Apr 14, 2004

maybe he measures across the curve at the back the dish.
Always fools the customer into thinking he got a big one

farside · Apr 15, 2004

You can fool some of the people some of the time.

I think he's coming unstuck now cos when it don't work the customer goes and measures it. His reputation is spreading.

Not today. I'll let you know when!

johnthomas · Apr 16, 2004

I heard today that he brought steal dishes 2.8(Astrosat) and dont work in Paphos either

To coca cooper,haven't heard from you for a while.Did you get your 2.7m dish,and if so did it work okay?

Coca-Cooper · May 3, 2004

Eventually got my 2.4 swapped for a 2.7m dish last Friday, and yes I measured it

Performance is pretty good (BBC & ITV from 11am to 3am, ie 16 hours). Do you think any adjustments with the alignment will improve matters??

Its possible,then again if adjustment was made in the morning then you might lose it at night.Right now it's 8.30 am here and my bbc is okay and very very slight pixellation on itv(london).as a matter of interest,I have never been able to pick up itv anglia or any of the itv on 10.891H, 22000,5/6.
But the main point is they(astrotwat) tried to con you with a 2.4m dish.What if you didn't measure it?How many more customers have been ripped off?And they promise 24hours reception.
Looks like they are having trouble shifting their 2.5m dishes as they have dropped the price,because they are not getting bbc/itv in the evening,which is what you had.
By the way,what was their excuse,for putting up a smaller dish?It's a fair cop guv??

You know what type of excuses I got. . . . . . This 2.4m is just as good as a 2.7m, It will be guaranteed, blah, blah, blah

It may be European, but it's still Cyprus!

II had a 3.7m solid DH dish installed two months ago (when we still had bad weather) by Future Sat and I can receive all the horizontal frequencies of 2D (BBC, ITV, Disney, Hallmark, RTE) 24 hrs (I have actually tested them by staying awake all night) without the slightest freezing of the picture.

Do you mind answering how much a 3.7M solid (aluminium?) DH dish costs?

Ball-park figure even?

Coca-Cooper · May 7, 2004

About CY£3,000 last time I was looking (approx. $6,000)

A 3.7m Prodelin would be in the region of $2000 with similar performance

Future are not bad but there is also Simon in Limassol,who only deals with satellite dishes and the odd BFBS aerial.He doesn't need to advertise to get work as its all recommendation.I've passed his name on to many people and no complaints so far.It all boils down to the technician being honest and letting you know exactly what you will and won't get before you agree to have the dish installed.The cowboys have to advertise every week everywhere to get new customers because the old ones have gone somewhere else.You pays your money and you gets your choice (of dish)

Hi there - speaking from Norfolk UK, but have villa in Pissouri. My neighbours and I are about to install a 3m dish from Astrosat on Wednesday. Thought I would do some checks (may be late, but better late etc etc) and don't like what I have found. What should we be aware of? Who is Simon contact-wise? would appreciate help before too late!!

You would have been better off starting a new thread for better response, but also if you use the search function for any of the references you mention above in this section, it will bring up a few threads.
