Hi!

I have a 120 cm motorized dish mounted on my terrace, with a ground mount. However after the holidays I have found out that I can barely pick signal from any satellite.

Not sure if it needs to be realigned or maybe it is something as simple as a replacing the LNB... I would need somebody to check it.

(The place is in Portobello Road; I have a private parking lot that you can use)

Gosh. Last time I brought an installer from somewhere else because it was faster.

Is it really so difficult to find an installer in London?

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

No, but it is difficult to find a good one. I haven't replied as I have been fully booked for some 24 days. I may get a half day tomorrow though if I complete everything by end of today.

How old is the system and does it look as though everything is in good order ?
Access to the roof is allowed without crossing to another property ?

Any update ?

Good to mention if you have found somebody you trust to fix/improve/replace your dish.

Hi,

Sorry for my late answer. Yes, I found in "Gumtree" a guy, and I am satisfized with his services. I can't judge how much does he knows about this business since I don't have a clue myself, but he fized the problem and made a good impression on me: he is punctual, polite and has a professional attitude.

(By the way, I tried to message you over here but I have problems to access the inbox...)

Regards,
David

Thanks for letting us know. What was the issue - do you know?

Nothing serious, the dish needed to be realigned. It is a 120cm dish and the wind had moved it a little bit. Basic maintenance, I would say.
