You will get some channels but not the full freeview channels. Best idea is to buy a Freesat box from Argos circa £30 just plug in your sky cable and get everything.

CAI and RDI-LB to merge? | Blogs
Wednesday 26 January 2011 3:46PM

Having paid my money done my courses to become an RDI, I would definatley be looking for a full refund of all I have spent in the process. I feel if this were to happen, then I and many other have been totally mislead. I urge other members to make their felling clear to the RDI-LB. If this goes ahead then as before the only reckognition we will get is to join the CAI at their over inflated membership fees and have to suffer the total chaos of there prehistoric administration. I would suggest that should this proceed that all RDI's get together to form a group and take legal action to get our costs back. Maybe this will help pay for the CAI membership.

I have just emailed the RDI-LB asking for clarification on this matter, will post any response I get, as I am sure many others are concerned over this.

After sending my mail to the RDI, which I worded strongly, I received a very pleasant phone call from Martin Smith. In the conversation he assured me this subject was no more than a rumour, in fact he went on to say the opposite is actually true, they are planning an expansion of the body to include the likes of broad band services etc. My mail has also prompted a respons from Sheila Cassells which can be seen at this URL. http://www.rdi-lb.tv/pdf/news%20update%2027111.pdf . I have to say I was very impressed with the response I recieved and only adds to my believe in this organisation as opposed to the CAI, who would probably have just binned my mail. I hope this has been usefull. Regards Dave.

response to Paul Jewell:
I have to disagree with Pauls comments. The fact is almost anyone who is physically able can fit an aerial but maybe not correctley. That is a problem in our industry because anyone in with a van, a ladder and a few tools can jump on the bandwagon and call themselves a aerial installer. Having an organisation that requires its members to prove they have enough experience, insurance and are accountable to someone can only be a good thing. Until the RDI-LB was formed the only other option was CAI. Competion for the CAI has been a good thing too, although they have been slow to respond to it. As for the take of RDI-LB membership it is my understanding that in the short time they have been formed they have surpassed CAI membership by some margin, that alone tells its own story. Also if you where to ask 1000 people if they have heard of the CAI or the RDI most would say they know of the RDI and again in my experience very few have heard of the CAI.
