Satellite Direct UK Ltd 08702 245777
Oct 4th, 2005 at 9:46am
 
This is a service company for satellite tv installations it has an 08702 245777 number.  No Geographical number can be found on the searches tried. Address:Orchard Business Park, Yapton, BN18 0EH. There is another address Arundel BN18 0ZZ. There is a Fax Number 01243 554624. If a fault is found and they are contacted it takes a long time on the phone trying different options on the system before an engineer will be sent. A geographical number is required to prevent expense to the customer.

I pay £8/month to this company (Subscriber Services - a trading name for Satcover Ltd and the authorised customer service agent for Satellite Direct UK Ltd) to fix Sky problems (frequent). If there is a fault, I have to spend a long time waiting on the phone, then a longer time while various remedies are suggested before an engineer can be booked. They do not call back, even if they promise to. I tried 01903 718185 (listed under unverified alternatives) but this was a sales number and they would only give me the 0870 number for the engineering department. I tried the 01243 555044 number from this forum; they answered as Digicover Ltd, said they were unconnected to Subscriber Services but could give me a number - guess what? 0870 245777.
A geographical number for the engineering department is needed to save customers further expense - any help would be gratefully received and acknowledged.

A quick google came up with:

01903 718183

Close to the sales number you tried!

I also found an 0845 number, 0845 230 3034 - better than 0870, although still far from ideal.

I've also looked up Subscriber Services, and found 01243 821122. However, there are some rather unflattering remarks about them out there, including a reference to "cowboys", so do look out!

Thanks for trying - unfortunately 01903 718183 is not recognised and 01243 821122 is the Satcover Ltd sales office.

Satellite Direct has a registered office in Crawford Street W1
Satellite Direct UK has a registered office in Church Road HOVE 3
Satcover has a (the same?) registered office in Church Road HOVE 3
Digicover does not appear in the Companies House website - so why did they answer as Digicover Limited?

I have been a customer of Satellite Direct for some time now. Quite appauled at some of the remarks made here.

I have had 2 replacement pieces in the past 6 months from this company and I have never had any problems with them.

I live in a remote area of the country and they arrived the following day from my call to them.

I find the staff very polite and helpful and the service of excellent quality.

Don't some people have anything better to do with their time than pick holes in quality companies???

They also use another 0870 number  -  0870 240 2473 and when they ring you they purport to be Sky and tell you they can give you a very good offer on insurance for your sky dish if you give them your full credit / debit cartd number over the phone!!!

Hi All, As a member of Satellite Direct staff I would like to offer the following pointers,

YOU Can Also get through to our admin on 01243 867 893, our call centre number is 08702 402 465 (thats for our Bognor Office anyway) The number you are all discussing is the one given out to new policy holders. Hope this helps. Wink

Satellite Direct Dishonest Advertising
Reply #13 - Jan 1st, 2007 at 1:41pm
 
I received an unsolicited letter from Satellite Direct UK Ltd which started - "The initial manufacturer's warranty on your digital satellite (Sky TV) system has now expired ...".
This is a blatant LIE.
I checked with Sky and they confirmed that my warranty had not run out at all. Indeed it had several months still to run.
In response to my question as to whether this company was appointed by Sky, Sky responded - "There are a number of independent warranty companies that legitimately provide products to protect digital satellite equipment. These companies and their products are not related to Sky or the Sky Repair Plan.".
So there you have it. They are not part of Sky, they are not endorsed by Sky, they are just one of a number of independents.
But would you want to trade with a company, or appoint them your equipment maintainer, when their pening sentence on their correspondence is a blatant LIE.
I wouldn't. Would you?
