Related Service: Satellite Dish Installation

Whether you want Sky Q, Freesat or foreign satellite channels, precise dish alignment is everything. A dish a single degree off true south loses half its signal in poor weather. Our engineers use professional-grade signal meters to align every dish to the exact azimuth and elevation for your satellite — never by eye.

• Southern sky obstruction assessment at all potential mounting positions
• Supply and installation of the correct dish size for your satellite and signal requirement
• Precise alignment using calibrated signal level meters (not by eye)
• LNB supply, fitting and polarisation configuration
• Coaxial cable routing from dish to your receiver location
• Full channel scan and verification on your receiver or TV
• Weatherproof mounting with stainless steel fixings
