Advice needed re Sky house move

My parents are moving house and have Sky+. The house that they are moving to has a Sky dish but, as the previous occupants didn't have Sky+, a new lnb and wiring is required. Sky haved quoted £50 for this. Has anyone any advice on getting this for less (or even for free).

Thanks.

    I know when we moved they wanted to charge £50 for a new dish installation (even though we had been with them 10+ years and had broadband and talk too... when new customers pay £30) so we said we might as well find an alternative to Sky altogether and surprisingly enough, within seconds, the installation was free.
    After posting about receiving an email to my MSE username/email from 'Money Expert' (note the use of ' '), I am now unable to post on MSE. Such is life.
