I really hope you get them all sorted and get your keys very very soon and definitely before us !! Jen I just cant believe Redink are doing this to you ... its just shocking if I was you I would be going into their head office and giving them a piece of my mind .... will let you know if we see anyone at your place ... Thanks Smile for the update! I did hear a rumour that our garage door would go on today but wasn't too hopefull ... cant wait to see it ... a bit worried its all too white!!! but oh well... BJA I also heard that Tv signal all came through the NBN somehow and thats the reason we dont need antennas !!  yay i think we will hold out until June too - just have lots of DVD nights !! and i think ill have to download all my tv shows now so that i dont miss out   30 Mar 2012 1,243 WA Gold Member Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1904Apr 20, 2013 6:47 pm Bleh24 I had the same impression...  BrianJulie-Ann AC27Does tv run through nbn? I am hearing lots of conflicting stories I guess we will findout, we don't watch much normal TV really with Foxtel so if we do get Fox then I think we will wait until June. I don't think we can get Foxtel through the NBN but I stand to be corrected!!) if you get it through the xbox I guess it would be nbn connection but I think that's a limited channel package. 28 Dec 2012 152 WA Bronze Member Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1905Apr 20, 2013 10:15 pm AC27Bleh24 I had the same impression...

I will call the TV guy back and check with him as he was very sure that Digital TV comes with the NBN!!

Now that it's been confirmed, he said I'll need to get a TV antenna as NBN won't do free-to-air over the line. Whether that might change in the near future or not he couldn't say. 28 Dec 2012 152 WA Bronze Member Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1907Apr 22, 2013 1:13 am MortzWhile going through the comms with Intelligent Home for my place in 3A, they mentioned that until NBN "acknowledges" that they have to rollout to that stage, it's a Telstra Velocity estate.

So many people saying many things, you think they could get it togehter and get it right. Looks like I might need the antenna after all. My yougest daughter asked me if we will have the TV when we move in as she NEEDS to watch the VOICE!! What can I say to that!! Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1909Apr 22, 2013 11:28 am Hey guys my removalist was $110 per hour and a $50 call out fee, I know there is cheaper out there so have a look around you may find someone more suitable. This guys number was 0412 886 898. We also had our antenna done last week, two points and the antenna installed for $200. Really quick job and done right - considering the cost of the antenna is about $100 normally, an extra 100 for two points and installation plus warranty isnt a bad deal.

It boosts the signal before splitting it to multiple outlets. Only downside is that it will need either batteries or an AC power outlet in the roof. There may be some systems available that connect the power to one of the outlets and 'feed it back to the splitter. I haven't looked at TV antenna hardware of late so not too sure on it 28 Dec 2012 152 WA Bronze Member Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1914Apr 22, 2013 10:28 pm Well so much for clearing our block today!! I honestly think we get told stuff is happening just for fun, I am tempted to organise the last few minor things myself and send the build a bill for my services. You would think they want your money and to get you off the books but maybe our money is not good enough!! 28 May 2012 2,211 Perth Gold Member Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1915Apr 22, 2013 10:37 pm BrianJulie-AnnWell so much for clearing our block today!!

Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1917Apr 23, 2013 1:53 am BJA I think builders forget that were actually paying them for this ... its like they think they're doing us a favour by building our houses... but really we are doing them a favour by choosing to build with them ... we could have given any other building company our money and they need to be reminded of that !!! 28 Dec 2012 152 WA Bronze Member Re: Avonlee Henley Brook Perth 1918Apr 23, 2013 3:24 am  melQBJA I think builders forget that were actually paying them for this ... its like they think they're doing us a favour by building our houses... but really we are doing them a favour by choosing to build with them ... we could have given any other building company our money and they need to be reminded of that !!! you hit the nail on the head Mel!!
