Hi all,
Thought I would mention something I came across yesterday and hope that forum members may be able to help.
However, please bear with me as I'm not at all tecchie and will only repeat what I was told by an installer.
Anyway, I had an independent installer round last night to give me a quote for the supply and installation of SKY+ and it was the usual £299 plus fitting charge of £60. Great guy and certainly knew his stuff.
However, he then mentioned that earlier in the week, the supplier of his boxes had confirmed that they were 'under instructions' to remove an LNB unit (whatever that is ?) from their boxes before onward supply to installers.
The guy said that these units were worth about £85 each but that even though they had been taken out, Sky would not be reducing the SKY+ cost and would keep it at £299
Is this right or am I being conned somewhere ?
Are Sky assuming I will have to buy this LNB at my own cost to make the box work
What's an LNB thingy anyway ?
Hope you can help before I part with my dosh.
regards
Canoehq
