Satellite dish installation in Gravesend

Gravesend has one of the largest Sikh communities in the country, and we fit many dishes for Punjabi and Indian channels, as well as Freesat and Sky.

Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across DA11 & DA12.

Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad

Every satellite job in Gravesend

New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Gravesend engineers.

Satellite box with its cables plugged in

Freesat in Gravesend

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 Gravesend

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 Gravesend

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 Gravesend

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 Gravesend

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 Gravesend

Many Gravesend households watch Punjabi and Indian channels. Some are available on the Astra 2 satellites with a subscription, others by internet. We can advise on the best option and fit the dish.

Gravesend’s riverside homes face north over the Thames, so dishes usually go on the back of the house, facing south. That keeps them away from the river view and the worst of the weather.

Before you book a dish in Gravesend

Satellite questions we hear in Gravesend. Anything else, just ring.

Can I get Punjabi channels in Gravesend?

Yes. Some are available by satellite with a subscription. We can advise and fit the dish.

Where does a dish go on a Gravesend riverside home?

Usually on the back of the house, facing south.

Do you fit Freesat in Northfleet?

Yes. We cover Northfleet, Chalk and Singlewell.

Which way does a satellite dish point in Gravesend?

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.
