Satellite dish installation in Rochester
Rochester’s historic centre needs dishes placed with care. We fit Freesat, Sky and international dishes out of sight, and repair those that have stopped working.
Established 2000. £5 million public liability insurance. Dishes fitted, moved and repaired across ME1.
Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad
Every satellite job in Rochester
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Rochester engineers.
Freesat in Rochester
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 Rochester
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 Rochester
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 Rochester
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 Rochester
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.
Where a dish goes in Rochester
Around the castle, the cathedral and the High Street, a dish on the front of a building is almost never acceptable. We look at rear walls, courtyards and flat roofs, which can often see the satellite without being visible from the street.
Borstal and the streets on the slopes above the Medway have more freedom, and good views south. Dishes there can go on a side or rear wall, and we use quad LNBs for homes that want Freesat in several rooms.
Before you book a dish in Rochester
Satellite questions we hear in Rochester. Anything else, just ring.
Can I have a satellite dish near Rochester Cathedral?
Usually only if it is hidden from the street. We look for rear or courtyard positions that can see the satellite.
Can I have Freesat in several rooms in Rochester?
Yes. We fit a quad or octo LNB and run cables to each room.
Do you repair satellite dishes in Borstal?
Yes. We repair, realign and replace dishes across Borstal, Troy Town and Warren Wood.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Rochester?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.7° 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.
