Satellite dishes in Dover
Dover’s hills block the low southern sky in some streets, which makes dish placement important. We find a position that sees the satellite, then fit and align it properly.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across CT16 & CT17.
Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad
Every satellite job in Dover
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Dover engineers.
Freesat in Dover
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 Dover
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 Dover
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 Dover
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 Dover
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.
Where a dish goes in Dover
In the valley streets of Tower Hamlets and Maxton, the hill to the south can block the view to the satellite from the lower floors. The fix is often to mount the dish higher, on the roof or chimney, where it can see over the ridge. We always check the view with a meter before choosing a spot.
Dover is a port town with many families from across Europe and beyond, and we fit plenty of dishes for international channels. Polish, Romanian, Turkish and Kurdish channels are all available from satellites we can reach from Dover.
Before you book a dish in Dover
Satellite questions we hear in Dover. Anything else, just ring.
Can I get satellite TV in a Dover valley house?
Usually yes, but the dish may need to go higher than usual to see over the hill. We test different positions with a meter before fitting.
Can you fit a dish for Kurdish or Turkish TV in Dover?
Yes. Most Turkish and Kurdish channels come from Türksat. We can fit a dish for Türksat alone or one that also receives Freesat.
Do you move Sky dishes in Dover?
Yes. We move dishes to a new wall or roof, re-run the cable and realign it, so it works as before.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Dover?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 147°, which is south-south-east, tilted 26.2° 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.
