Yeah, bloke came round today, bit surprised figured you could run it off a normal aerial as I know my folks have.

There's really little difference in a 'normal' aerial and a digital one, except for a bit of dB gain. A normal aerial with decent cable, pointed
properly towards Crystal Palace from where you live should have been fine.
What you had on your roof however, was a rusty old pile of shit pointing in the wrong direction. Had I not known you and had come round to give you an estimate, I'd have more than likely suggested that you changed it too. If you'd been old and gullible, I'd have lumped in an unnecessary Masthead with a PSU, a new distribution system and striped you right up. In all honesty though, £156.00 is about the going rate, mate... |

The aerail, is facing the right way, it's one of 5 different mast it can face, anyway, it's done now, I did tell the missus to not get fobbed off, but
she paid up and off he went.
Monk says he's too poorly for next Friday, sadly Dormski is not...... |

When I worked for Sky I installed at a house that had a digital aerial installed the day before for £350.00. When I'd stopped laughing the bloke asked me
if he'd paid too much.

Unfortunately, I'm now deskbound so do very few of them myself anymore, but I do have a mate round the corner that's still in the game, so we double up on private jobs that are local. We see some terrible stuff. One bloke called us after his chimney kept making funny noises since he'd had a £250.00 aerial installed. When we pulled up to take a look, We saw that some dopey cunt had drilled an 18" T & K bracket into a single-skin chimney to support the mast. He was chuffed when we told him that he was going to need a builder to do the repointing before we'd go anywhere near it. The problem is in our industry, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If you have anyone come to your house to do Aerial or Satellite work of any kind, ask to see their CAI accreditation. Anyone decent should be able to provide it. |

I hate it when that happens, for sure. |

The point is Bill, that you never drill anything into a Chimney. You use a wire lashing kit so that the chimney doesn't collapse.

Who was the silly sod that drove all the way from one shit part of London (Tooting) to one shit part of Essex (Harlow) for your reception drinks. And I was driving so I couldn't drink!!! Joey - trying hard to get out of a family event but it's much harder when you have a kid. It's more appealing as I know Dormski is going and he is a good wingman - he'll make the initial introduction with the birds and then everyone else tucks in. And he gets left with the minger...about his level.... |

Skerrit, I most most myself and leave the basics to the installers, I do my own aerials and if I had a sat meter I'd do my own dish. Especially as the
numpty who put mine up has put it on marginal line of site and I want to move it.
