I had recently shifted to a new rented house (2nd floor of 10 floor). Because my owner insisted on not drilling anywhere in the house, I planned to install the d2h antenna on the roof.
The installation guy who came said my antenna is heavily bent and is doubtful about the reception. He showed me with his signal indicator that the signal was 53%. On the near by antenna he showed it to be 74%.
He told we can still do the connection and if you face trouble we have to change the antenna.
Also because of the height, he had 2 make 3 joints. I already had a 20 meters cable, he brought an additional 18 meters, plus there is a wire going inside the walls of the flat. He charged 400 for installation, 220 for the wire and 180 for the 2 connectors. So I had to shell out 800 rupees.
Now the problem is I can see only few channels and for others its saying Signal is not available. The service man said he doesn't have a spare antenna now but can bring one next week. He said it would charge around 500.
I'm skeptical a signal difference of 20-23% can make big difference to the channels? Has anyone changed the antenna and does it cost 500 rupees?
