sometimes...


Just tried to phone around a few local aerial installation companies
with a view to getting someone round to do a number or things, which
would include installing new CT100 runs from my Sky minidish down to the
cellar, - as a result of the refurbishment of the lounge I'm moving the
sky+ digibox to a new location, and the existing cables are too short.
Rather than extending them (and having a join), I'd prefer to get new
runs put in to the right location.

I'm utterly staggered to be told by all the companies I've phoned that
they don't deal with sky+ systems "as its a new system"... - I've
explained to them that it makes no difference what type of digibox I
choose to put on the end of it, - it's the same cable, the same
connector, - everything's exactly the same... but no, they are
adamant... Even when I tell them that the digibox is not even there at
the moment, as it is packed away in storage during the refurbishment...
and _even_ when I say I have a 2nd digibox in another room, fed from the
same dish... - "ah, we'll work on that one sir, but we won't touch any
part of the sky+ setup..."

Speechless!

Next step is to phone a couple of others, and basically not tell them
I'm putting a "+" box on the end of the cable run.. - they'll
never see
it anyway, as it won't be out of storage for many weeks yet...

... Anyone know a competent aerial installer who works in the N.E.
London area who wants a bit of cash work?....
