this includes receiver, dish and installation
when it came to installation the engineer said they can only install the dish and not the cable as this will be going over the gutter, the cable for my house will require going from dish then over the roof to the other side, the T&C states:
Dish will be installed to gutter level of the property and be limited to properties up to 3 storeys
Now this does not say anything about cabling just the dish otherwise it would say dish and cabling
they want £42 for another call out to install the cable over the roof also this was never mentioned during the dish installation of which I could have decided then
also more complaints on this company:

sorry you have just pointed out the T&C and not clearly explained yourself
BTW my house is 3 stories within the limit0 -
I would think any requirements for roof ladders would be a special installation.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

So how does your installation include up to 20M of coax?0 -

riiiight
So the dish is installed up to gutter level
That is installed,not simply bolted to the wall
Your installation goes beyond this in requiring cable over the roof0
