Installation query
I’ve had a trouble free ADSL account with Tiscali for some time now, and am toying with the idea of adding the TV service after they’ve bombed me with advertisements. The one thing that does bother me is the engineer installation. What exactly is an engineer required for?

Thanks for that CM, although the answer sounds remarkably like nothing
I might just leave it until they've ironed out a few of the flaws and just send out the equipment. Just out of interest how many ethernet connections can the router take? I'm old school and anti-wireless at the best of times, and the relevant property is a bit of a nightmare in terms of interference. |

The Speedtouch router they supplied me has 4 ethernet sockets.

Tiscali TV has been running as Homechoice for the last 3 years or so so there aren't really any new problems coming up. Problems all seem to come from Tiscali's administrative incompetence (billing, double-booking engineer visits, that sort of thing)

I'm old school and anti-wireless at the best of times, and the relevant property is a bit of a nightmare in terms of interference. Thats more than the engineer did with my two installs. Plugged the box in and showed me how to use the remote. The send an engineer (well an installer) in case anything goes wrong, I can't see them ever simply sending you the box. With IPTV you need a good service in the home all the way to the TV, which is why they will be standardising on a wireless router - so that they can support it and give a guaranteed service. |
