Sky dish replacement

nick5573

Im moving soon, When I move house I would like sky to put a new dish in.

The house currently has a manky old dish that must be 10+years old and their install was awfull with the cable coming in at a random place in the middle of a wall then run around picture rail with no clips or anything (Shocking)

Will they fit a new one as part of their home moving.

Could I just whip the old one off the wall before they come and pretend it was never there

They did when we moved.

Same here, new dish/new cabling despite those already being there.

(Thankfully as they were pretty dated.)

When you call sky to move your services just tell them that you will only stay with them if they replace the dish and wiring - they will due it without any problem (they even take the old dish and cable away)

Even if you are just getting an upgrade you can get a full overhaul.
I got another multiroom and told them I was changing all the rooms in the house.
They agreed to recable completely wherever I wanted as part of the £60 callout and I persuaded the engineer that my dish was a bit bashed up so that was changed as well.

Sky and their installers are not consistent, I wouldn't take the risk, at a minimum cut a chunk out of the cable in a few places and give the dish a great big whack or bend it.

Haha cracking advice. I think ive found the solution here
