Yep, same here used GA TV up by the market. They even came and refixed the dish when it had been blown off by a storm for free.

I've arranged an install with a company that will accept payment when the system is installed and running, Gran Alacant Television don't do dish installs anymore, I had a dialogue with Diginova but the guy wanted the whole cost paid into his bank account before he sourced the system, didn't fancy that, he didn't accept a Barclaycard or even know what one was either, a bit strange.

Funny I dealt with them (diginova)  and they were spot on.

I suspected that Diginova were ok but didn't fancy transferring money, if I could have used my credit card I would be covered if the took my money and ran

I doubt if I paid upfront with them. I think that they were connected to the Electrical Shop down at the GA centre. Before I ordered the dish they came out to fix my old dish and charged a ridiculously low call out fee something like 10 Euros. A few years back but it was cheap then. They did quite a few dish installations up our road without any issue I believe.

I assume it is the same people that run it now. Might not be.

We used Go Satellite based in Quesada.  They were very good and we were more than happy with their service.

I got my own way and had a 1.4m dish fitted and get solid Freesat even when we had heavy rain.
