yeah told them i wanted it put on chimney but they said they couldn't put it there for fear they'd break tiles on new roof
instead of putting on chimney
Perhaps that is a cable TV socket or something? I guess that you could route the SKY cable by this or another wall socket with some rewiring but, as mentioned above, the installers probably just do what's easiest for themselves.i thought the roundy socket on wall was for this cable but the cable comes from outside and is connected to back of box full stop , it doesnt go near any socket on wall!!
The box needs to be connected to the phone line in some or all cases as it communicates over the line for certain purposes. Ask SKY about it or else check the boards.ie Satellite forum for more info.also there is a white cable going from box and connected in to phone socket..can this be taken out of phone socket and left free standing?..will it affect tv viewing?
I think you need planning if you install the dish on the front (e.g. front wall) of the house but not if it's on the roof below chimney height or within some limit of it. Also - as far as I know most reputable installers will not install a dish on a chimney stack at least due to the risk of structural damage to the house in high winds etc.why then does every 2nd house that i see have a dish on their chimney if in fact they need planning?...my guess is none of them have planning!!

What I did with mine was that prior to SKY coming out I ran all the sat. cables upto the attic and they mounted the dish at the back of the house ( high near the facial soffit ) and then ran all cables through the facial soffit and connected them in the attic. The SKY engineer would'nt go into the atic but I got in and helped him run the cables up. This way I made sure that no cables are showing on the external walls and I got it installed the way I wanted to.
