When we switch on the TV at our apartment in Cyprus after it’s been vacant for a period, we always need to retune in Sky. And if we have people renting it and they can’t tune it, we have to pay to get someone to go along and do it. Even after it is retuned, around tea time there is a lot of pixilation. We just have a Sky box without a card, so we only get the free channels. When we ask the management company at the complex they just blame Sky.

Resident expat and author of CyprusBuyingGuide.com Kirsty Lowe asked a local expat telecommunications company, NormSAT, for some advice and they said: “If the mains power has been turned off while the property is vacant, the system will need rebooting. The pixilation could simply be due to the dish not facing the satellite precisely. It is also partly due to free viewing slowly disappearing and this has been happening across the board.”

NormSAT communication specialists have been providing complete terrestrial satellite demands for over 10 years in Cyprus. With experience installing both SKY systems, Hotbird, Bulsat, NileSat, Showtime and many others, they are able to offer you a customised service not previously available in Cyprus.
