Dish supply and install only

    I've a Pace Sky digi decoder (which I've had for 5+ yrs now).
    We moved across town and found the new house we are renting
    (while waiting for new house to be built) has good terrestrial
    reception from a local licensed terrestrial deflector based system.
    So we are getting RTE1/2/TV3/TG4/BBC1/BBC2/C4 all with
    very decent signal. I'm not a sports addict nor film buff and I
    guess I might occasionally miss not having SkyNews and perhaps
    BBC3 & 4 and possibly a few of the FTA radio channels on the
    Sky platform.

    Question is: How much might I be expected to pay for someone
    to supply a Sky dish and install it with no subsidy from Sky itself ?
    Unfortunately I left the original dish in the house we moved from
    and I'm not in a position to reclaim it (new tenants, closed down
    the Sky value pack subscription,etc).

    I'm guessing it would cost in excess of 100Euro for a non subsidised
    sat dish install + the single LNB dish if not a good deal more.
    Sky, of course are still twisting my arm to stay on and trying to
    give 2 months free viewing to rope me into a contract.
    As a side issue - my son nearly got addicted to the Nick/Cartoon
    Network channels and my wife (and I) are happier that we have
    him "weaned off" those. So I can only see marginal benefit in
    having Sky in the house at all.

    Anyway I'm just curious for a ballpark figure for a dish and install
    (when not subsidised by Sky themselves)

    Apology - I meant to post this to the ICDG-Sat board rather than Gardening/DIY.
    Perhaps a mod can move it.
    Otherwise - apologies for accidentally posting it on this forum.
