Satellite television installation

Hi all,

I hope some of you can help. I am trying to find out where to go to get satellite tv installed into a friend's villa. Ideally I'd like to get a few quotes for her, with people/companies who can do the whole thing including supplying the television.

Can anyone help with an idea of cost and recommendations?

Thank you!

That's in the basement arcade underneath A Gale, opposite Carvoeiro bar

Thank you both, can you give me a rough idea of cost? You can always pm me if you don't want to say on the forum.
Thank you again.

The cost will depend on what you want done, and how they install it.

Where will you get a card? or am I being naive

Your dish and digibox supplier will supply a card.

It is worth opting for the larger 1.4M dish if offered it. Some channels such as Ch4 and ITV1 can be difficult to pull in on a standard dish

Agree with the R J Tecnica advice, and Bruce's comment about dish size. We find BBC 1 disappears first when it's raining. R J T may be in the process of moving, but a phone call will confirm.
