Our dish is on the roof – we have a flat roof above the staircase that holds the Sky dish and our satellite broadband dish.

Mrs. CyprusGrump was not too happy when she first saw the Sky dish but to be honest we don’t really notice it now.

Hi Grump,
We are moving to Frenaros, near Paralimni Will it be the same size dish there?

I have heard that on the eastern side it would have to be a 4.2m dish is this true, as we only have a small garden.
Where is the best place to buy a sky yellow house card from?

Talk to Mark on 99323300

He is expert on all things Sky and was by far the best when it came to delivering on promises..

Most of the locals I contacted didnt even come back to me with a quote, and for such an expensive system they lost out big style...

He does all the cards, receivers, and instalations... He also knows most of the workarounds for using the internet to get a UK local phone number for connecting your box to a phone line for POD movies..

You would be surprised at how the prices increase with other suppliers once you actually ask for a final figure...

Mark does deliver at exactly the price he quotes, and he lives up to his promises...

Hi Snad, there is a firm called 'Prime Sat' just down the road from Orphanidies in Paralimni, they get good reviews. We are moving to the same area as you, have bought a Pub in Kapparis.

I've got a 9yr old sky box in the uk (without a subscription now but getting the free channels still through it) but is it worth me resubscribing to a package and bringing it out with me? They're offering me a 3 month half price package deal or new skybox to get me to resubscribe.
I'll be moving into rented so will it just work as soon as its plugged into a dish (which I presume I'll have to buy?)
thanks

Upgrade to the new Sky box and bring it out is my advice.

You might be able to find a large dish that you can share in your new home.
