Anyone any experience of this company? Seems you just replace the gizmo on the end of the Sky dish....
As part of our installation package we will send you a new "quad" LNB. It will be necessary for you to remove the existing LNB (one screw) and replace it with the quad LNB. The quad LNB will have four connections but you will only use two of them - one for the cable for the existing satellite decoder unit and the other for broadband. You may use one or two of the remaining connections to run satellite television to other rooms in the house or broadband to a computer in another room if you so require. Because of the fact that the dish is already aligned with the satellite you do not have to get involved with setting up the dish's alignment. You merely have to remove one screw from the end of the arm and put a new LNB in place.The fitting on the new LNB is a universal fitting and will snap into place very easily.
and thread a new cable to your computer. Entry package speed is about 512mbps and you need to keep your dialup (and costs). Price is E28.50 pm after paying E285 for the gizmo, connectors and cabling, assuming you install yourself. No contract - a month's notice if you want to stop.
I'm tempted by cost and reasonable speed (existing dialup is 45.5mbps here in rural Kilkenny with no ISDN or other possibilities under E40 pm) but would be glad to know if there are any pitfalls. The website, [broken link removed] seems very upfront. Advice welcome.
TIA
