The problem is the boxes will be in the back rooms of the house and the dish will be on the front of the house so cables are going to have to be routed through 2 groundfloor rooms to get to one box and through the loft to get to the other.

Virgin routed their cables first into the cellar, then put a splitter on so they could route one cable into the living room and then the other went from the cellar up into the stairwell by following the heating pipes into the loft and then accross the loft and down into a bedroom, hope the Sky installer can do the same!! Plus the front/back of the house has just been re-rendered and painted so we don't wnat any damage to the rendering!!
