We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:

Why would they fit a 'too small' dish ?
Seems to be asking for trouble

Perhaps this is what the distributor had in stock and told them it was OK.


Ooh you cynic ! g


Not too much - the recommended dish for most of Ireland is around 80cm,
but it's inadequate. Much, much better to simply get a 1M dish in the
first place.


Which I think was the advice I was given when I first asked the
question here a couple of months ago...

Can't decide an easy 'exit strategy' from these cowboys. Sorely
tempted to dismantle their handywork and take it back to them in a big
cardboard box ! Trouble is - the dish is up on the end gable, and it's
a bit higher than I'm happy with, without using a roof ladder....

....but I'm tempted g

'Spose I could ask the 'other expert' do do an install for me and to
take their stuff down at the same time g
