Dishes for every need in Faversham
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Faversham engineers.
Freesat in Faversham
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 Faversham
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 Faversham
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 Faversham
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 Faversham
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 Faversham
In the town centre, between Court Street, West Street and Abbey Street, we look first at rear walls, outbuildings and flat roofs that cannot be seen from the street. If no hidden spot can see the satellite, we can talk through Freeview or streaming alternatives, so you are not forced to choose between TV and your planning consent.
On the newer estates and around Preston, there are fewer restrictions, and the dish often goes on a side wall or the back of the house. We fit dishes with a quad LNB here, so several rooms can have Freesat recordings without a second dish.
What Faversham customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Faversham. Anything else, just ring.
Do I need consent for a satellite dish on a listed house in Faversham?
Usually yes if it is fixed to the building, and almost always if it shows from the street. We look for a hidden spot or a separate structure like a shed or garden pole.
Can I have Freesat in several rooms in Faversham?
Yes. A quad or octo LNB gives each room its own feed, so every TV can record one channel while you watch another.
Do you repair satellite dishes in Oare and Boughton?
Yes. We cover all the villages around Faversham for dish repairs, realignment and LNB replacement.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Faversham?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 147°, which is south-south-east, tilted 25.9° 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.
