Anyone got this over here? Just moved into our newly built house and need sky installing, I have an account from our old place at the moment but would like to pay a 1 off fee and have no monthly account for sky back in the UK.

 Thanks

I recently opted to get SKY Digital after tiring of bloody Via Digital for the last 10 years. I am based in the centre of Marbella.

Its not cheap in case you are wondering.

I ended up paying €1200 for everything.

A week later we had some big winds and my dish came off its fitting and fell off and got slightly damaged.

Another €450 for a new dish. (unless I claim the old one off the home insurance)

In case you did not know, if you live in a community you don't have to ask permission to install a dish on the roof, you are legally entitled to install dishes on the top of community buildings.

If you want to install a dish on the side of a building however which is community run, you need to check with the president of the community if you allowed to install a dish, otherwise you may possibly be asked to remove it.

Hi

 
I used to work for Reece Electronics carrying out sky tv installations.

Give him a call on 607383578 and tell him Bryan Walker gave you his number an he will sort you out.

They supply recon Pace430 boxes for just sky digital the recon box is a better box than the one Sky are supplying now. The recon pace box is around 190euros. If you want Sky + or Sky HD then the cost of the box is more. The cost of a dish varies sometimes they have second hand dishes which will obviously be cheaper than a new one. They can also supply you with sky packages that you can pay in one go.

If you have any queries Reece will help you out easily 607383578

Hope thats of some use

Bryan :)

I cannot believe you were charged that much for your Sky installation!! It cost us 410 EUR for the box, card, dish and installation last year. What company did you use? I suggest people steer clear of them... !

I used the company that deals with our community installations.

They are called Servitel in Marbella.

They are a Spanish Crew.

Yeah, I feel kind of ripped off.
