Dishes for every need in Queenborough
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Queenborough engineers.
Freesat in Queenborough
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 Queenborough
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 Queenborough
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 Queenborough
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 Queenborough
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 Queenborough
The old houses along Queenborough High Street are close together, but most have a rear wall or yard with a clear view to the south. We fit the dish there, out of sight from the street, and use sealed fittings to cope with the damp air from the creek.
The new homes at Rushenden often have satellite cables already fitted. We connect a dish to the existing cables and test every room.
What Queenborough customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Queenborough. Anything else, just ring.
Can I have a dish on my Queenborough High Street house?
Usually yes, on the rear wall or in the yard. We check the view to the satellite first.
My Rushenden home has satellite sockets. Can you connect a dish?
Yes. We fit the dish and connect it to the existing cables, then test each room.
Do you fit dishes for Polish TV in Queenborough?
Yes. We fit dishes for Hotbird, which carries Polish channels, and can combine them with Freesat.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Queenborough?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-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.
