Virgin routed their cables first into the cellar, then put a splitter on so they could route one cable into the living room and then the other went from the cellar up into the stairwell by following the heating pipes into the loft and then accross the loft and down into a bedroom, hope the Sky installer can do the same!! Plus the front/back of the house has just been re-rendered and painted so we don't wnat any damage to the rendering!!

This will be classed as a non std install, personally I feel that whatever the engineer will do on the day won`t satisfy you (bit like watching a car crash in slow mo is this thread)

If your worried about cabling etc why not make the runs yourself and leave enough for the guy to connect to the dish?
