    Hey my coz is looking for someone to put up and aim a satellite dish to Astra, or whatever sat freesat is bounced off these days! He's getting the dish and lnb in the next 2-3 weeks but the last time he put one up himself it fecked up everytime a bit of wind blew up so I'm ordering him to get it done right this time! We were all happy about sitting down to watch the Champions League final in HD last year, 20 mins in and we couldn't watch it! I coulda killed him!

    So does anyone know anyone who's got the relevant skills and equipment to get it right this time? We're just looking for someone to do it as a nixer, not wantin to spend a fortune on it! Tanka!

    I'm moving to Wexford Town myself soon and will probably give your recommendation a shout about a freesat installation.

    I had heard from some other natives that motorised dishes can be problematic in the area due to the salt in the Wexford air!:eek: Is this an issue?

    I was half thinking of a motorised dish, as the alternative is either two dishes or DTT + a european facing dish.

    Actually, is DTT feasible in town?

    My folks tried to get Don Sadler out to realign their dish after some building work shifted it. 2 months they were waiting, rang every week to see what he was at and we always got the same reply; "We'll be there at the weekend", although I'm sure with everyone desperate for work they might be a bit quicker to show up! But I think I'll leave Sadler as a last resort!

    As far as the effect of salty air on motorised dishes I can't be sure, I do know that a lot of the standard sky dishes last about a year before they go brownish, quite annoying. But they're not all like that.
