What we do with dishes in Ramsgate
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Ramsgate engineers.
Freesat in Ramsgate
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 Ramsgate
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 Ramsgate
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 Ramsgate
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 Ramsgate
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.
Getting dish placement right in Ramsgate
Ramsgate’s harbour terraces are listed or in conservation areas, and many face north or west over the water. The south-facing rear walls are usually the right place for a dish, and they are out of sight from the harbour as well. Where the rear is crowded with extensions, a flat roof often works.
In Newington, Northwood and the estates further inland, there are fewer restrictions, and we fit many dishes for families watching Polish, Turkish or Arabic channels. We can set up a dish to see two satellites, so one installation gives you Freesat and your home channels.
Satellite dish questions from Ramsgate
Satellite questions we hear in Ramsgate. Anything else, just ring.
Where can a dish go on a Ramsgate Regency house?
Usually on the rear wall or a flat roof, out of view from the harbour and street. We check the view to the satellite first.
Can I get Arabic TV in Ramsgate?
Yes. Many Arabic channels come from the Nilesat or Hotbird satellites. We can fit a dish for one or both.
Do you install communal satellite systems in Ramsgate?
Yes. We fit shared dish systems for blocks of flats and converted houses, so each flat gets satellite TV from one dish.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Ramsgate?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 147°, which is south-south-east, tilted 26.1° 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.
