Dishes for every need in Tonbridge
New dishes, repairs, Freesat, Sky and channels from abroad, all from the same Tonbridge engineers.
Freesat in Tonbridge
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 Tonbridge
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 Tonbridge
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 Tonbridge
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 Tonbridge
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 Tonbridge
Tonbridge’s valley location can affect Freeview, but satellite reception is usually excellent. Most homes have a clear view to the south-south-east, and dishes can go on a rear or side wall.
In the conservation areas around the castle and the High Street, we look for hidden positions first. Elsewhere, we fit dishes wherever the view is best.
What Tonbridge customers ask about dishes
Satellite questions we hear in Tonbridge. Anything else, just ring.
Will a dish work if my Freeview is poor in Tonbridge?
Very likely. The hills that weaken the Heathfield signal sit low on the horizon, while the satellite is much higher in the sky.
Can I have a dish on a house near the castle?
Only somewhere it cannot be seen from the street, as that part of town is a conservation area. Rear walls and garden poles usually work.
Do you cover Hildenborough and Leigh for dishes?
Yes. Both, along with Shipbourne and the estates at Higham Wood and Trench Wood.
Which way does a satellite dish point in Tonbridge?
For Freesat and Sky, towards the Astra 2 satellites: a bearing of about 146°, which is south-east, tilted 25.8° 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.
