We have been installing Sky dishes in Ballincolling since 1998!
In the beginning we ran a single satellite cable from the dish to the digibox and a separate one to a UHF aerial or Virgin Media tap for RTE reception. After Sky+ came along we began using double co-axial cable in order to provide 2 satellite feeds to the dual tuner box so that customers could record two channels at once.
Nearly all of the satellite dishes we fit in Ballincollig are chimney mounted and we are now regularly asked to upgrade the universal LNB's to a wideband or a hybrid as our customer wishes to move to Sky Q.
Many homeowners in Ballincollig are now getting their houses externally insulated. We can remove and re-fit the Sky dish to its original spot or move it to a more discrete location - we often move the satellite dish to the chimney leaving the new insulation untouched.
External insulation and Sky satellite dishes
As external insulation material becomes more popular it can present challenges when attaching fixtures for Sky satellite dishes. A task we regularly perform for our customers in Cork is to remove the existing Sky dish, and re-attach it after the external insulation has been installed. We always ensure that the brackets and fixtures we attach are safely and neatly installed and left in a tidy state.
Give us a call on 087 269 1215 / 021 487 2817 for help with installations on externally insulated homes.
Sky Q installation and upgrades in Cork
Sky brought Sky Q to the Irish market in 2015 and since then it has grown in popularity with their customers. Unlike previous digiboxes, which all required Universal LNB's, the Q box is supplied with two co-axial cables running to a wideband LNB. One cable is used for vertical frequencies and the other is for horizontal.
If you are an existing Sky customer and you'd like to change to Sky Q, your existing LNB must be replaced with a wideband or a hybrid type. We are very familiar with upgrading existing Sky customers' equipment to Sky Q in Ballincollig and Cork City, call us today to talk about your upgrade options.

Sky+ and Sky+HD upgrades and repairs
Sky+HD boxes have two satellite tuners enabling the user to watch one channel while recording another. The two satellite signals are usually supplied from a Quad or Octo universal LNB. A HDMI cable is then used to connect the digibox to the customer’s television set.
The Sky+HD box replaced the standard and white Sky+ boxes from 2011 onwards and they are the most common set top box used throughout Ireland. We can repair, replace and re-tune Sky+HD boxes in Ballincollig and the Cork area whenever needed.
