Sat installer for Athenry needed, Timber framed house

Owen

Some tool just landed onto the Sister's house 2 hours late in Athenry to install Freeview, drilled into the house and then realise he couldn't do the job due to it being timber framed, and buggered off leaving holes in the house recommending she get someone else to do the job.

Would any boardsie Sat tech be willing & capable to install for her?

Is Freeview available in Athenry

Owen

No. Athenry is in a special state of quantum flux, preventing Satellites from penetrating the time dialiation field created as a result.

I would get that looked at fairly quickly, timber framed buildings have a damp proof membrane or vapour barrier installed, if it's punctured the house is no longer water tight. He must of been an absolute muppet to begin drilling before accessing the job, Is there a solid roof over hang or a wall with a large cross member that would be a solid fixing point for a dish if not you will need to look at this before getting another installer.

Thats right the Freeview signal don't come from a Satellite.

Freeview is not satellite, it is a Uk terrestrial system.

Well done scaller. What a positive contribution to the thread, semantics. You obviously know the service I'm describing - I'm in the Sat forum asking about a free sat service, but decide to be a smart-ass and point out the correct name. A huge help there.

The problem is I'm in Cork, she's in Athenry, so I'm of no help to her. She's going to have to get the house sorted ASAP, as it's a mostly timber Scandanavian home and the exterior is plastered Masonite. Can't believe the guy was so idiotic - the house clearly looks timer styled, it's not your normal Irish house.

Would really appreciate if some boardsie installer in the Area could do the job - she's pretty down about the whole thing.

Hold on there. I asked a simple question and you came back with the Smart Arse answer. And if thats your attitude then you wont get much help from the lads here.

Huh?

My impression was it was you who was being a smart ass with the quantum flux stuff. Asking if Freeview is available in an area is a legitimate question is it not? Maybe the installer was equally confused who knows.

Just beacuse you are in the satellite forum means nothing about understanding your question, lots come on here aking questions about terrestrial services.
