Sky installation?

Question

hi im getting sky installed on sunday but my query is over the cable routing which i don't want the way sky do it over doors and along skirting boards. The thing is i use an ariel the now into an slx 1 in 4 out in the loft giving perfect signal to all rooms but i was wondering if the engineer could run the cable from the sky dish into an adapter to fit normal ariel socket to fit slx 1 in 4 out which would give signal to lounge and cable from lounge wall socket to reciever?

Answer 1

he will run the cable whereever you want it BUT WITH SKY IT WILL RUN AT  A PRICE AS IT WILL COME UNDER EXTRERS AND YOU MIGHT CONTACT SKY BEFOR INSTALL TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT WILL COST  MAKE SURE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN WHEN THEAY TELL YOU

Answer 2

i have,they will tell u no ,they want to be in and out ,as fast as they can?

Answer 3

we didn't want that either but they have to do it. and it's barely noticeble.

Answer 4

Yes-Sky will tell you where the dish has to go but they can run the cable wherever you want it

Answer 5

the cable from the sky dish goes straight into your sky box. he should be able to run the ariel the way you want him to but he may charge you extra if it is more work than a standard installation. shouldnt be much though.
