Romanian TV Satellite Installation in Sudbury Suffolk

Start the day with a Satellite installation in Sudbury Suffolk. This was not a Sky installer job but an installation for a Romanian TV. Installed and checked signal was OK. My customer subscribes to the Dolce TV package 

Dish aligned to Hellas Sat 2 at 39 East, just under Sky Dish.

on the Hellas Sat 2 at 39 East and he was able to confirm all his programmes were coming through strong. Apart from Romanian TV other jobs I have for this satellite are  Bulgerian TV and Serbian TV. Peculiarly, there are not many Greek channels on Hellas Sat. In fact I'm only aware of Riksat a Cypriot channel and Sport Plus in the Bulsat package, but no more. 

TV Distribution in Halstead Essex.

This was a recall to a job completed the other week. Customer had called stating that the Sky signal was OK through the distribution system that I had installed during a refurbishment, but the Freeview signal was breaking up.

It was a simple solution. After I had finshed the work and had  left my customer had to move the main TV and boxes in the lounge in order to have new carpets fitted. On reconnection the aerial feed and the return to the loft for signal distribution around the house had got swapped over. Simple 30 second job if you know what you are looking at! Two down and still only 10.30.

Next job was only ten minutes down the road. My customer had already suspected a tree problem as to why his satellite reception was poor, and he was right. His house was listed and so dish could not be mounted on the house and had to be ground mounted on a patio mount. There was no alternative site, so I had to raise the dish by a couple of feet to clear the top of the tree. My customer is aware that the problem may reoccur in a few years.

Next stop was home for an early lunch or if you prefer a late brunch, before moving on to Bury St Edmunds.

Sky Installation in Barrow near Bury St Edmunds Suffolk.

Actually this was an installation of a new Sky HD box that Sky had supplied my customer with.

My customer also wanted to clear out all of the ‘rubbish’ under his TV (unused VCR's etc.) . So out with it all and in with the shiny new Sky box. Pair my customers Sky card up with his new Sky HD box and program the Sky remote control to operate his Panasonic TV and all done, nearly. He wanted two old aerials removed from each end of his house. First one removed with no incident.

 Next one, ouch, so this is why they say you must wear a hard hat. It’s for when the rusty v bolt snaps and the pole comes down and smacks you in the head.  I can tell you it still hurts even if there is no sense there!
