Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad
Satellite TV services in Gillingham
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Gillingham engineers.
Freesat in Gillingham
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 Gillingham
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 Gillingham
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 Gillingham
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 Gillingham
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.
Fitting a dish in Gillingham
Gillingham’s long terraces mostly face east or west, so the dish goes on whichever side has the best view to the south-south-east. We check with a meter before drilling, because the houses opposite can block the view on some streets.
Gillingham is one of the most diverse towns in Kent, and we fit dishes for Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Nigerian and South Asian channels. We can set up one dish to receive two satellites, so you get Freesat and your home channels together.
Gillingham satellite questions
Satellite questions we hear in Gillingham. Anything else, just ring.
Can I get Nigerian channels in Gillingham?
Some Nigerian and African channels are available by satellite, often with a subscription. We can advise and fit the right dish.
My Gillingham terrace faces east. Can I still have a dish?
Usually yes. We check both sides and the roof to find a clear view to the south-south-east.
Do you move satellite dishes in Rainham?
Yes. We move dishes, re-run the cable and realign them so they work as before.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Gillingham?
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.
