Question Any aerial fitters on here??

I've had a look on the Professions thread but there isn't anyone obvious.

If there isn't, can anyone recommend a good fitter??


BTW, the first person to mention van-aerial will get a from me

Cheers

Or you could give Brian a call @ BBL Aerials 07831 639859
I have been using him for over 10 years now, I have tried numerous aerial guys but Brian is the best, he does a fantasic job and I trust him

Tell him you'r a friend of Chris's from Stellisons and he will look after you

Could do a "group buy", i'm after one too. As i my aerial is piped (cable), Virgin Media do not send the digital freeview channels down the cable without the "selling" me another decoder box. Not a lot of good when the TV already has a freeview decoder built in. Despite me having all three services (TV, Broadband and telephone), they still want £30 one off payment for the decoder and then £9.95 each month for the "Free" service. Not exactly Free then !!

Ed, the aerial you will want is a DAT 75, little more expensive than the standard DAT 45, but will future proof you're installation. I have all the cables run, i'm just to much of a chicken to get on the roof, so thats all i need doing. Someone to replace the exisiting aerial with the new Digital one.

PM me with what prices you get if you can please mate.

Guys,

The ickle girl is gonna sort this out as she's at home all day now. When she bought the house it was a new build. The odd thing is it's got a cable fully wired in, but there's no aerial connected to it

There's SKY with a dish installed, therefore we've never needed another aerial. That is until I bought a DAB radio for the living room for Christmas and discovered that the DAB reception is pretty poor to say the least. To combat this we want to run it through an external aerial, hence my request.

When she gets around to arranging something I'll speak to the fitter and find out some prices


HTH

Of course DAB is soooo last year, this is the new thing - Sonos - Home, its the nuts

Have it installed in the house and it is very good, you get Digital Radio from ANYWHERE over the world, instant access to your CD collection stored as MP3s and for a small subscription, unlimited access to Napster if you wish. So no more CDs, pure digital
