    Well I called up Sky as I wanted to take out the TV, Broadband and Phone. I was told that because I live in a flat that 3rd Party Love Digital will have to do the installation. :mad: I was transferred to Love Digital and was told that I have to pay £2 per meter of cabling if it is over 20 meters. :( I already have Sky without a subscription in the living room but I want it in my bedroom which is on the other side of the property. I wonder if I order, will they charge me..... :think:

    Phone sky and ask for 3 Multirooms.
    That should ensure a new installation.
    Then cancel within cooling period and see if they want to remove the external equipment.
    A bit drastic but in theory possible.

    Wont work if it's a communal dish. Plus asking for 3 multirooms would mean a lot of install and box costs...

    Even if theagent doesn't realise it's a communal system at point of orderings. The engineer wouldn't install a dish, even with written permission.
