Anyone have a Sky dish outside in the garden?

Have phoned Sky and they seemed quite unsure of the whole process if it wasn't going to their engineer drilling into a house. They advised me to speak to an independent installer about putting up a pole or a tripod. I've done that and they reckon around £300 to supply and install a dish. That's not a goer so probably looking to do it ourselves. Will check with Digitalis Direct re the hybrid LNB.

£300??? The dish & tripod for HD+ you listed is £41 and for another £9.99 for a satellite finder you can orient it yourself, it's really simple.

Yes, I thought it was a bit steep! I've spoken to Digitalis Direct and they confirmed that they don't do the Multi LNB for the dish I linked to so I'd have to get that elsewhere. The kit includes a satellite finder so I'need the kit, a flat cable, an extra lead to allow for a flat cable and the Multi LNB. I'm sure that won't add up to £300! If I get it in advance of my move I can check that the LNB fits the dish. This is beginning to look promising.....
