LNB. Low Noise Block. its the part on the end of the dish. the dish itself is just a reflector that bounces the signal into the LNB which filters the noise out and sends the signal down the cable to your box! it also amplifies the signal as by the time it had come down from the satellite it is very weak. the type of LNB used on a sky antenna is a 'universal' LNB but you can also have 'fixed' LNB's. you can have ones with two outputs and four, (quad lnb).
not sure on the money side but i used to work for sky as a fitter before going on to work on the big antennas, v-sat, scpc etc. and yeah the fitter should do all wiring.
