New Dish for sky +
Hi new here
I am a sky customer and would like sky+ as i have sky basic.The problem is where my dish is ,its on my roof of a block of flats with no skylight to get to it.Can i get sky to install a new dish and box somewhere else and how much will it cost as i understand they have to do something with the lnb on my old dish?
Thank You

Re: New Dish for sky +
Is the current dish accessible or is it too high?
If it is fairly high you may need the special heights team. If you go for Sky+ and you only have a single LNB, Sky would normally swap it for a dual LNB to give the box both the feeds that it requires.
The installer may just opt for the easier option and re sight the dish if possible.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Re: New Dish for sky +
If you are upgrading they may just replace the dish as well. I would ask them and see what they say, if necessary bung the installer a few quid.
