    Yeah try and ask for a complete breakdown and see how much they charged for the actual installation.

    May have charged a bit extra for a class 1 wideband aerial. But can buy all those parts yourself, example Aerial (class1) £50, Bracket £20, 5ft cranked or straight mast £10, 5 metre cable £5, aerial plug and f connectors £6, 8 way amp £40, combiner £5, extension lead (5 metre) £10. So about £146 to do yourself

    Plus those are retail prices, would assume he buys at trade prices.
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j
