    Sat dish but no Freesat

    So the company did not send an engineer as booked, presumaably because I suggested I wouldn't pay their £75 call-out fee if the problem originated with their initial work.

    Yes in valley (west london) and local houses have tall tv antennass, but I thought that's for terrestial TV (eg freeview). Surely sat dishes point up would not be affected so freesat should work?

    What temp should it be set at? It's a conservatory Currently set at 14 and the heating came on last night - seems like a waste of energy, as water does not freeze at that temp! Or would the water in the under floor pipes be considerably colder than the thermostat measuring the air in the...
