Freesat, Skyand TV from abroad
Every satellite job in Sevenoaks
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Sevenoaks engineers.
Freesat in Sevenoaks
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 Sevenoaks
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 Sevenoaks
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 Sevenoaks
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 Sevenoaks
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 Sevenoaks
In the wooded areas around Knole Park and Wildernesse, trees often block the view to the satellite. We test several positions, including high on the chimney, before fitting.
In the valleys at Riverhead and Otford, where Freeview can be weak, Freesat is a reliable alternative. The dish only needs a clear view south.
Before you book a dish in Sevenoaks
Satellite questions we hear in Sevenoaks. Anything else, just ring.
My Sevenoaks garden is full of trees. Can I have satellite TV?
Usually yes. We find a clear spot, often high on the house.
Is Freesat better than Freeview in Otford?
Often, yes. Freeview can be weak in the valley, while satellite is strong.
Do you fit dishes in Kemsing and Seal?
Yes. We cover Kemsing, Seal, Riverhead and Sevenoaks Weald.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Sevenoaks?
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.
