I too have paid CV a lot of money, however that said the service does work for me. The extra 2 feeds they installed took a lot of extra wiring around the building and I've had them come out to resolve faults quite a few times, whilst the faults shouldn't occur, when they do I have someone out the same day or next arriving promptly, even at the weekends, and they have always sorted the problem out. It was pointed out by one lady at a previous meeting in the lobby that you can have CV come out and sort your terrestrial reception at no cost, she was very happy with the work that they had done and was happily receiving her TV, if I remember correctly.
If we were to terminate the contract i fear what would happen to the money already paid, what would happen if faults occured in future, and what would happen if a new person wants to get connected.
The Sky Satellite uses the Astra and Eurobird Satellites in the 28.5 degrees East orbital position. Any dish has to point in the right direction. Even if we were to allow hundreds of dishes on the building which we are not by lease, and also by as i understand by law (more than one dish on a building requires planning permission if visible from the street according to what satellite magazine), then it would still mean that half the building, the half on the sweden gate side, could not have dishes as they would point the wrong way and if did point the right way can't see through the building. We already have some unlucky people on the first floor marina side with 4 or 5 dishes on their external wall and long cables trailing around the building are we to have hundreds more? I wouldn't like to be the poor corner flat owner with all the unwanted dishes trying to sell their flat with those eyesores on the outside.
I think the only answer if we are unhappy with the current communal aerial and dish people is to get replacement people in, but to just cancel this contract and leave it to anarchy is not an option. As someone who lives on the wrong side of the building i would much rather swallow my pride, and pay a little extra for sky than not have it at all.
