Well you would have thought so, he claims that the RF booster would damage the STB if it was plugged into it. - news to me!
 
What frustrates me is that he used a cheapy sky installer, rather than a decent aerial installer!! - Sky's chaps seem incapable of climbing ladders, the dish is now on the back of their garage, 50+ meters from the Lounge, because he claimed he couldn't get line of sight to the sky (You can't at ground level, but you can at roof height!)

Surely the installation guy should only be concerned with the signal from a dish
to an STB what happens after that is of no concern to him and will have no
effect on the service he should be providing.
