What we do with dishes in Dartford
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Dartford engineers.
Freesat in Dartford
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 Dartford
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 Dartford
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 Dartford
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 Dartford
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.
Getting dish placement right in Dartford
We fit many dishes in Dartford for Polish, Romanian, Turkish, Indian, Nigerian and Arabic channels. We can set up one dish to receive two satellites, so you get Freesat and your home channels together.
The flats at Greenhithe and along the river often share a communal dish. If yours has stopped working, we can test the system and report to the managing agent.
Satellite dish questions from Dartford
Satellite questions we hear in Dartford. Anything else, just ring.
Can I watch Arabic channels in Dartford?
Yes. Most come from Nilesat at 7° west or Hotbird at 13° east. One dish with two LNBs can pick up both, plus Freesat.
A whole Greenhithe block has lost satellite. Who pays?
The shared system belongs to the building, so usually the freeholder through the service charge. We diagnose it and price the repair for the agent.
Do you install dishes on Ebbsfleet new-builds?
Yes. Many have rules in the deeds about where a dish can go, so check those first and we will find a position that fits them.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Dartford?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.6° 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.
