Satellite dishes in Maidstone
Kent’s county town has every kind of home, and we fit satellite dishes for all of them, from Freesat in family homes to shared dishes for blocks of flats.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across ME14 to ME16.
Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad
Satellite TV services in Maidstone
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Maidstone engineers.
Freesat in Maidstone
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 Maidstone
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 Maidstone
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 Maidstone
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 Maidstone
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 Maidstone
Most Maidstone homes have a good view south, and dishes can go on a rear or side wall. In the conservation areas around the town centre and in Bearsted, we look for hidden positions first.
Maidstone has many flats in converted buildings and new developments by the river. A communal dish system, with one dish feeding every flat, is tidier and usually required by the lease. We design and fit these for landlords and managing agents.
Maidstone satellite questions
Satellite questions we hear in Maidstone. Anything else, just ring.
Can I have a satellite dish in Bearsted?
Yes, though in the conservation area we look for a position hidden from the street.
Do you fit communal satellite systems in Maidstone?
Yes. We design and fit shared dish systems for blocks of flats and converted buildings.
Do you repair satellite dishes in Allington?
Yes. We repair, realign and replace dishes across Allington, Barming and the rest of Maidstone.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Maidstone?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.8° 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.
