Compensation for sky not working

I need help in figuring out what my next steps should be. 
My partner and I bought a persimmon homes apartment a year ago since we moved in we have been having problems with or sky signal dropping in and out. After weeks of going back and forth between persimmon and sky persimmon admitted the problem lied with them. 
They have admitted the satellite needs to be moved but they still haven't moved it. We have paid out hundreds of pounds for a service we have been unable to use for over a year now. I have tried lodging several formal complaints with persimmon customer care but it never leads to anything. I have asked about compensation they said they don't provide compensation they only fix the problem. They have done neither. How can I get my money back? Feels like I've tried everything.

    I think you mean the satellite dish needs moving, not the satellite as that would knock everybody out ::)

    As for Sky compensation - not Sky's fault your dish has ended up in a position where it can't see the satellites in the sky.  You would have had access to Sky Go so its not like your TV package was completely inaccessible...
  • Won't Persimmon move the dish for you or get it moved by a Sky installer?
    You've been waiting a year for this????????

    Ye i meant the dish 😂 persimmon have admitted it needs to be moved but they still haven't done it. Persimmon are at fault not sky so I'm looking for compo off persimmon but they are refusing to pay us back for our sky bill.

    Persmmion have admitted they need to move the dish but they haven't. They first admitted this in the summer. My issue is we are out of pocket hundreds of pounds for a service we have been unable to use because of persimmon and they are refusing to foot the bill.

    It would cost you around £75 to get the dish moved yourself
    Why not pay yourself and claim it back?

    Is this a communal dish?

    Yes it's a communal dish but seem to be the only ones having the problem

    It's a communal dish we can't move it
  • I think people are missing the point I don't want help in fixing the problem I want advice on how to deal with persimmon and getting my money back for services that I've paid for and am unable to use.

    If you're the only ones having the problem and other people are connected to that same dish, there's nothing wrong with the dish...
