Dishes for every need in Margate
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Margate engineers.
Freesat in Margate
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 Margate
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 Margate
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 Margate
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 Margate
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 Margate
In Cliftonville’s converted terraces, a row of separate dishes on the front of a building looks messy and often breaks the lease. A single dish with a multi-switch can feed every flat, with each one choosing its own channels. We design and fit these for freeholders and managing agents.
Margate has a growing Eastern European community, and we fit many dishes for Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian and Bulgarian channels. Some come free from the satellite, others need a subscription card, and we can explain which is which before you buy.
What Margate customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Margate. Anything else, just ring.
Can one dish serve all the flats in my Margate building?
Yes. A single dish with a multi-switch can supply every flat, and each flat can watch different channels. It is tidier and usually allowed under the lease when separate dishes are not.
Can I watch Romanian TV in Margate?
Yes. Some Romanian channels are on Hotbird and others need a subscription. We fit the right dish and explain what each package includes.
Do you repair satellite dishes in Westgate?
Yes. We repair, realign and replace dishes and LNBs across Westgate, Birchington and Garlinge.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Margate?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 147°, which is south-south-east, tilted 26.0° 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.
