Dishes for every need in Strood
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Strood engineers.
Freesat in Strood
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 Strood
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 Strood
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 Strood
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 Strood
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 Strood
Strood’s homes mostly have a good view south, and dishes can usually go on a side or rear wall. Where the hill blocks the view in lower streets, we mount the dish higher.
On the Hoo Peninsula, many homes are in open countryside, where Freesat is often a better choice than weak Freeview. We fit dishes on houses, barns and garden poles, wherever the view is best.
What Strood customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Strood. Anything else, just ring.
Is Freesat a good choice on the Hoo Peninsula?
Yes. Freeview can be patchy out there, while satellite is strong. Freesat gives you all the main channels in HD with no monthly bill.
Can you move my Sky dish in Strood?
Yes. We move the dish, re-run the cable and realign it.
Do you fit dishes for Turkish TV in Strood?
Yes. We fit dishes for Türksat and can combine them with Freesat.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Strood?
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
