Obsolete satellite dish.

We moved into our property 2 years ago where we inherited a satellite dish that is obsolete and unconnected to anyone. Will sky kindly remove the dish?

hi @Raymondo8 

 

no SKY do not remove old dishes - in fact ownership of the dishes passes to the subscriber. 

 

They don't need a Satellite Specialist to remove - just anyone good with a suitable ladder & general DIY tools

Historically, Sky contracts transfer ownership to the householder on installation specifically so that the company isn't now responsible for many millions which will be going out of use sometime in the next few years when satellite television transmission to the UK and RoI ceases.
