Ta Boxcleva Will have a look at these senders. Only thing I was a bit worried about was whether there would be a loss of signal, and if so would it be significant enough to notice. Has anyone used these for SKY before, or is there a standard sender used by professionals Cheers

ta very much to all

My dads bathroom ceiling was recently plastered, but it's not to hot and there are some trowel marks etc showing. Can get hold of the tw@t that done it so i'm was planning on lining the ceiling with 1000 grade paper and using a vinyl paint. Is this OK or would the condensation in the bathroom...
