Dishes for every need in Swanley
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Swanley engineers.
Freesat in Swanley
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 Swanley
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 Swanley
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 Swanley
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 Swanley
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 Swanley
Swanley is fairly flat and open, so most homes have a clear view to the satellite. Dishes can usually go on a rear or side wall, out of view from the street.
We fit many dishes for families watching channels from home, including Polish, Turkish, Indian and African channels, and can combine them with Freesat.
What Swanley customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Swanley. Anything else, just ring.
Can I get Indian channels in Swanley?
Several Indian channels are carried on the Astra 2 satellites as part of a subscription, which our standard dish can receive. Others are only online, and we can explain which is which.
Is a bigger dish needed in Hextable?
Not for Freesat or Sky. A standard dish is plenty here. A larger dish only helps for some foreign satellites with weaker UK coverage.
My Swanley dish only fails when it rains. Why?
A dish slightly off aim, or an LNB that is ageing, works in dry weather but loses margin in heavy rain. We realign it and test the LNB.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Swanley?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.6° 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.
