Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad

Satellite TV services in Longfield

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

Satellite box with its cables plugged in

Freesat in Longfield

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 Longfield

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 Longfield

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.

Multi-room and flats in Longfield

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 Longfield

Longfield and Hartley are on open ground with clear views to the satellite. Dishes can usually go on a rear or side wall.

New Ash Green has its own design rules, and some homes have restrictions on dishes. We check with you before fitting and find a position that meets the rules.

Longfield satellite questions

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

Are there rules about dishes in New Ash Green?

Some homes have restrictions. We check before fitting.

Do you fit Freesat in Hartley?

Yes. We cover Hartley, Meopham and Fawkham.

Can you move my satellite dish in Longfield?

Yes. We move the dish, re-run the cable and realign it.

Which way does a satellite dish point in Longfield?

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.
