Sky Dish

Post by flying fish »

We are considering having a Sky dish fitted on the roof of our apartment (I already have a spare digibox and card) and I was wondering if anyone knows the e mail address/website of a dish installer in or near Cvo so that we can pre arrange a fitting for when we visit in two weeks..... Thanks

R J Technica, opposite Carvoeiro Bar on Restaurant hill, come highly recommended albeit I haven't had to use them (yet). I'm sure if you do a search on here you will find their number and get them warmed up before you arrive.

I think Mike meant a "search" on this forum (see top of page).

Lots of recommendations, and this useful snippet:

Their number is 282 356520

Would also recommend R.J.Tecnica, they're very helpful. You will also need them to perform the telephone link with Sky, since without this the box will not work (or so we were told). They have a piece of kit called a dialer, which enables them to perform the link.

The box will work without a telephone link. The only thing you cannot get is interactive.

If you give SKY a Portuguese phone number they will not connect you.
You need an English number for an English card
