The 'pixies'

took the earth wire from the ariel on our block many weeks ago, but our ariel still works.

PS - there is 24 hour security guard now on the building site opposite, and there are lights on in a cabin and a noisy generator running, otherwise our wiring might have gone too.

Do you still pay a weekly charge for the rental of the dish/aerial?
How soon are they going to repair it?

The old ariels are still working
(even though this contravenes the planning permission which said they should be removed within 2 weeks)
...so if you can find the old socket somewhere on your windowsill, you could use that.

Sorry I can't help - I gave away my Sky box ages ago.

Three weeks without TV!
The firm that installed these communal ariels went bust.
You (Mez) told me that Dugdales have taken over from them.
I have looked at their website

tv aerial digital freeview freesat sky
"Call 0800 043 2225 for next day service"

PS I can't find the letter from HH which shows what we pay weekly for this (poor)service - I recall it is several ££££

Get a FreeSat box, twice as good as Sky and its as it says on the box FREE, I've got both FreeSat & Sky, & most of the programs I want to watch I record on FreeSat.

The only system that doesn't need an ariel is Cable.
The ariels all use copper wire which is what is missing/stolen.

MargaretR · 23-09-2011, 15:25

PS These flats have cable access wired in.
I am tempted to get connected to Virgin cable if our block has its its ariel wiring nicked.
The problem is that Hyndburn Homes will still charge for those enormous communal ariels whether you use them or not.
