Every satellite job in Tenterden
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Tenterden engineers.
Freesat in Tenterden
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 Tenterden
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 Tenterden
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 Tenterden
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 Tenterden
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 Tenterden
Tenterden is a long way from the main Freeview transmitters, and many homes struggle with weak or unreliable aerial reception. Freesat avoids that problem entirely. As long as the dish has a clear view to the south-south-east, the signal is strong and stable, whatever the weather.
Tenterden’s High Street and its conservation area mean dishes need careful placement. We look at rear walls, outbuildings and garden positions first, so the dish is hidden from the street.
Before you book a dish in Tenterden
Satellite questions we hear in Tenterden. Anything else, just ring.
Is Freesat better than Freeview in Tenterden?
Often, yes. Freeview signals can be weak here, while satellite reception is strong. Freesat gives you all the main channels in HD with no monthly bill.
Can I have a satellite dish in Tenterden’s conservation area?
Usually only if it is hidden from the street. We find a rear or garden position that can see the satellite.
Do you fit Freesat in Rolvenden and Woodchurch?
Yes. We fit Freesat dishes and boxes in all the villages around Tenterden.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Tenterden?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is 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.
