Satellite dishes in Edenbridge
In the Eden valley, Freeview can be patchy, but satellite is reliable. We fit Freesat and Sky dishes across Edenbridge and the villages around it.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across TN8.

What we do with dishes in Edenbridge
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Edenbridge engineers.
Freesat in Edenbridge
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 Edenbridge
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 Edenbridge
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 Edenbridge
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 Edenbridge
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 Edenbridge
Edenbridge’s valley location and its distance from the transmitters can make Freeview unreliable. Satellite avoids that problem, as long as the dish has a clear view to the south-south-east.
The listed buildings along the High Street need careful dish placement. We fit dishes on rear walls or in gardens, out of view from the street.
Satellite dish questions from Edenbridge
Satellite questions we hear in Edenbridge. Anything else, just ring.
Should I switch to Freesat in Edenbridge?
If your aerial picture comes and goes, it is worth thinking about. The valley that troubles Freeview makes no difference to a dish facing south over the Weald.
Where can a dish go near the Tudor High Street?
Behind the building, on an outbuilding or on a low garden pole. Listed fronts are off limits, and we will not suggest them.
Do you cover Hever and Four Elms for satellite?
Yes, and Cowden, Marsh Green and Crockham Hill too. Farm buildings out there often make good dish sites.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Edenbridge?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.7° 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.
