mike208 Â Â 10 #2 Posted August 6, 2009 TW Communications based in Owlthorpe (0114 2485992) are fairly close to you so should know about the reception situation. I have no experience of them personally though. I've only ever used Slaters who are based in Bradfield and have always been good.

escort1 Â Â 10 #3 Posted August 6, 2009 There's a section on the Freeview web page that lets you put in your postcode and it tells you whether you can recieve it or not in your area. Freesat via a satalite dish or sky can normally pick up most chanels even in a poor freeview reception area. For freesat you buy a box from a high street shop and pay a one off instalation fee for the dish, no further subscpritions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cobijobi   10 #7 Posted August 12, 2009 Slater Bros of Stannington get my vote every time! Family firm, two lovely lads, phone number is 0114 231 1531  I am always recommending these on here. They have done several jobs for me over the years. Give them a ring, if they can't get a perfect picture then nobody can!! I am sure they will give you sound advice and give you your options. The business has been going over 30 years I think, so not a "fly by night" and they give you a guarantee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

quisquose   10 #12 Posted October 9, 2009 Just want to add my recommendation for James. He did some work for us yesterday which we are very pleased with.  No idea how a young man only 4ft 11 has such a head for heights though.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
