    The work still goes ahead,certainly over here it does.Sky don't have any in-house installers here,all the work was done by Finlay Communications,now owned by Heat Services.

    When I worked for them,you got a quota of 70 points to do per week;
    Service call-1 Point
    Standard Install-3 points
    Sky+ & relocate old box-5 Points.

    If you dropped any jobs during the week & failed to make up the shortfall,they took money off you to pay for the missed slots.So if you did 65 points & didn't make up the 5 points you missed,you got paid for 60 points of work.

    One of the reasons I left.On average I was loosing £100 a month thru no fault of my own.The jobs could fail for many reasons;
    No one home
    Wrong address on a house move
    Wrong address
    Customer cancelled at last minute
    H&S grounds (special heights required)
    ect ect ect...
