Nice harness he was wearing, as they pointed out, but what did he attach
it too?
What a load of arse!

Yeah, that silicone around the hole being missing really affects Setanta
reception.
The guy was just trying to be clever. "I'm the big fuckin' expert!"

Surely he was just in the middle of listing the catalogue of horrors that
is part of many installations carried out by Sky, but then got cut off?
It's true that the brick was blown, the hole wasn't sealed, the dish only
had two bolts etc. I'm delighted that that part of the sentence survived
the editing process, and hopefully as a result of it people will be a bit
more wary of shoddy Sky installers in future.

Perhaps the problem was he was cut-off mid-sentence, and the editing may
have made him sound more pompous than he was. The bit about Eurobird being
in a different location to Asda 2A/B/C/D wasn't explained simply enough,
and would have been far clearer with a simple graphic (enhanced in the
style of "Sky At Night" graphics) IMHO.

Interesting ladder to use.
Not exactly industrial grade was it?

Agreed.

Was at a customers house today where they where getting poor Setanta
reception. As it turned out the box was faulty and dish was fine. Bad
tuner.

Setanta had talked him through a few things then told him that he would
need to contact a local installer to check the dish/box.

On Watchdog they'd been telling people who spent a fortune hanging on the
phone that they would "boost the signal to their box" - this piece of
absurdity went unchallenged by all the experts later on. :-(
