Sky tv installation jobs

Im not sure if this is where i can get some help, but ive been installing TV aerials and sattelite dishes for a few years now and the company im in is going no where with little appreciation of your work, and im quite keen on trying to get a job as a sky installer, but the work for sky website is near on useless. No jobs ever come up on it, I was wondering if there was any sky engineers on here that could give me a pointer in the right direction?

Thanks in advance. Hi and welcome to the forum. You got your thread header right, but if Sky have any engineers they're not the people to advise installers.

Hi, welcome to the forum I have a friend that was a Sky installer.

As far as I gather and this may have changed recently for all I know but you contract to sky as an installer. You manage your own stock at trade prices and get paid per install not much from what I gather. The problem with making any decent cash on this is that you rarely get more than two jobs in one area so you are wasting time driving from job to job.

He said that it was near on impossible to make any good money as sky pay pretty badly and you rarely get more than jobs in one day. The advantage being that the company make all the bookings from sky, private customers and other sat brands and book each van to a set area so as long as the jobs are completed he always sees the bonuses They also do wireless internet installs which is how I know him.

So the work is varied and pays much better than Sky will alone. Sky, like most broadband providers in the UK, uses the Openreach broadband network to provide its services. The upshot of this is that if you are switching to Sky from another provider on the Openreach network this is pretty much everyone apart from Virgin Media then you already have the right cables running to your property.

Sky will simply take over the running of your phone line from your current provider. In this case, installation usually takes about two weeks and is free.

If you don't already have an Openreach telephone line running to your property, Sky will arrange this to happen for you.

It will require an engineer to visit, but they will try to get things up and running from outside your home wherever possible. In this kind of situation, you can expect installation to take at least three weeks. As well as a telephone line running into your home, you'll also need a router to get Sky broadband up and running.

Sky now offers just two routers — the Sky Broadband Hub and the Sky Q Hub — and they are usually sent out in the post for you to set them up yourself. The router you get will depend on the broadband package you sign up for. The Sky Broadband Hub can theoretically handle gigabit speeds, support up to 64 connected devices, has dual band wifi, four ethernet ports and eight wifi antennae to give you a good wifi signal throughout your home.

It comes as standard with Sky's ultrafast fibre optic broadband packages. Whichever router you get, actually installing it is pretty simple. On the day of activation, take it out of the box, plug it into both the mains and into your telephone socket. It'll take a few minutes for your router to boot up. When it's ready, the power, internet and wifi lights will all turn green. Compare Sky broadband deals. Sky offers a number of attractive deals that bundle TV, phone and broadband together and many people enjoy the convenience of having all these services from one provider.

Despite reports dating back to that Sky is soon to launch a version of Sky Q that doesn't require a satellite, you do still need a dish in order to get Sky TV. If you already have a dish, a Sky TV engineer will adjust it and replace the LNB the part of the satellite that the cables connect to as part of the Sky Q installation. If you don't already have a satellite dish, you'll need to get one installed. The Sky engineer that makes sure your satellite is all set up and pointing in the right direction will also get your Sky Q box up and running so you can start enjoying your multitude of channels and box sets as soon as they've gone.
