We currently have Sky TV, BT phone, and BT broadband, and that all comes in at about £300 a quarter (£1200 a year 
). Looking at Virgin Media, I can get the equivilent for less than half of that. The problem I potentially have is the installation...
Currently we have the Sky dish at the front of the house with one cable going into the front lounge to a standard sky+ box, and another cable goes from the dish over the roof to the back of the house and into the back lounge were our main TV and Sky+ HD box. We want the same setup for the Virgin TV, but we tried previously to get it installed, and on both ocassions the installers refused to put it over the roof, even after the area manager stepped in to say that can do that. I've decided that if I know what cable they use, I can buy some and put it over the roof myself, so all they have to do is connect it up at the front of the house, and also to the Virgin TiVo box in the lounge at the back of the house.
So, my questions are about the cable they use, and how it is presented to the property. I take it they bring a cable from the street to the property, but what happens from there? Is there a box outside or does it come straight inside and terminate there?
Any help is appreciated
