Satellite dishes in Cranbrook
In the wooded Weald, finding a clear view of the sky is the main challenge for a satellite dish. We find one, then fit Freesat or Sky dishes across Cranbrook and the villages.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across TN17.

Dishes for every need in Cranbrook
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Cranbrook engineers.
Freesat in Cranbrook
Over 170 channels, including the main ones in HD, with no monthly bill. It uses the same satellites as Sky, so an old Sky dish can often be reused.
What we doWe check or fit the dish, connect a Freesat recorder or the Freesat tuner inside your TV, then sort the channel list and series links.
Sky dishes in Cranbrook
Sky Q still runs from a dish in millions of homes. Moving, replacing or adding a box all need the dish and LNB set up correctly.
What we doWe move and replace Sky dishes, fit wideband LNBs for Sky Q and run cable for extra mini boxes.
Repairs and realignment in Cranbrook
A dish knocked a fraction of a degree out of line, a failing LNB or a wet cable will all cause “no satellite signal” messages.
What we doWe test the dish, LNB, cable and box in turn, fix only what has failed and realign the dish on a meter.
TV from abroad in Cranbrook
Channels from Poland, Turkey, Romania, the Middle East and beyond come from satellites such as Hotbird, Türksat and Nilesat.
What we doWe fit a dish for the satellite you need, or one dish with two LNBs so you keep Freesat as well.
Multi-room and flats in Cranbrook
One dish can feed several rooms, or a whole block of flats, so the walls aren’t covered in separate dishes.
What we doWe fit quad and octo LNBs for multi-room homes, and multi-switch systems for converted houses and blocks.
Satellite reception in Cranbrook
Trees are the biggest problem for satellite TV around Cranbrook and Hawkhurst. A dish needs a clear line to the south-south-east, and in a wooded garden that can be hard to find. We test several spots with a meter, including high on the chimney, before choosing.
Many homes here have outbuildings, barns or garages with a clearer view than the house. A dish on one of those, with a cable run underground or along a fence, can work much better than one on the house itself.
What Cranbrook customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Cranbrook. Anything else, just ring.
My Cranbrook garden is full of trees. Can I still have satellite TV?
Usually yes. We look for a clear spot, often high on the house or on an outbuilding, and test it with a meter before fitting.
Can a dish go on my barn instead of my house?
Yes. We can fit the dish on a barn or garage and run the cable to the house, underground or along a fence.
Do you fit satellite dishes in Sissinghurst?
Yes. We cover Sissinghurst, Goudhurst, Benenden, Hawkhurst and Frittenden.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Cranbrook?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 26.0° above the horizon. Anything tall in that direction, such as a tree, a gable or the house opposite, will block it, so we check the view with a meter before fixing the bracket.
Quicker with a picture
Snap the aerial or dish from the garden, or the error on the TV, and WhatsApp it to us with your postcode. An engineer looks at it and replies with the likely fix and a price.
