SATELLITE INSTALLATION

The average duration of an installation is 3 to 5 hours, which includes the mounting of the standard wall mounting brackets, pointing of the Transmitter, cabling and connection to the customer’s computer.   If the preparation of the customer’s premises required special preparations or a non-standard complex installation, the customer will be liable for that additional cost.  The additional cost will be discussed and agree to during the site installation and the billing will be adjusted once the installation is completed.

Installation price includes

 

·     Travel cost within 25kms from the Installers premises.  It does not include travel and accommodation to places further than 25km. This cost will be quoted and settled between customer and installer :
