How soon can a satellite engineer come to Amersham?
Often within a day or two, and sometimes the same day. Our engineers work from the Aylesbury office.
Satellite TV in Amersham
Everything satellite in Amersham: a dish for Sky or Freesat, a repair when the picture goes, a move to a tidier wall, or a second dish for channels from home. Engineers from our Aylesbury office.
Local satellite installers in Amersham
Sky Q and Sky Stream dishes fitted, moved and realigned without the wait, with small dishes painted to match the brick in the conservation areas.
For Old Amersham homes where the valley blocks the aerial signal, a small Freesat dish at the back gives you the main channels with no subscription.
Every dish in Amersham is aimed on a meter at 28.2 degrees east, the satellites that carry Sky and Freesat, and fixed into sound brick so it stays on target through winter.
Advice over the phone or WhatsApp is free, and you get an accurate guide price before any work starts.

Satellite dish installation in Amersham
From a first dish to a whole-house system, fitted neatly and tested at every box.
Sky dishes
Sky Q and Sky Glass homes that need a dish, plus dishes for Sky boxes, without waiting for a Sky engineer.
Dishes for Freesat
One dish feeding every Freesat box and recorder, with a cable to each room.
Dish moves
An old dish moved off the front of a Amersham house to a side or rear wall, with the old holes filled.
Older houses in Old Amersham
We look for a rear or side wall with a clear view so the street side stays tidy.
Newer homes in the newer streets off the Hill
If the builder left cables in the loft or a media point, we connect a dish to them rather than drilling new holes.
Extra satellite points
A second or third room fed from the same dish, with the right LNB for the number of boxes.
Satellite repairs in Amersham
Most satellite faults are one part: the LNB, a cable, a connector or a dish knocked off line.
“No satellite signal”
Usually a failed LNB, a cable fault or a dish that has moved. We test each in turn and fix the one that has failed.
Drops out in bad weather
A dish only just on target fails in rain or snow. Re-peaking it on the meter usually cures it.
Storm-damaged dishes
Dishes blown off line or brackets pulled out of the wall, made safe and refitted on sound brick.
Blocked line of sight
New extensions and growing trees can block the dish. We move it to where the sky is clear.
Free satellite TV for Amersham
Freesat gives you free-to-air TV from satellite, with no subscription.
A backup to the aerial
Some Amersham homes keep Freeview in most rooms and Freesat on the main TV, so a fault on one never leaves them without a picture.
Reusing an old Sky dish
An old Sky dish is usually fine for Freesat. We test it, swap the LNB if needed and tune the box.
Record and pause
A Freesat recorder lets you pause live TV and record series, and catch-up works over your internet.
Every room
A multi-output LNB and a cable to each room means every Freesat box works on its own.
TV from home for Amersham households
We fit dishes for channels from Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and beyond.
Nilesat, 7° west
Arabic channels from North Africa and the Middle East, from a dish aimed south-west rather than south-east.
Turksat, 42° east
Turkish TV needs a bigger dish in the UK and a solid fixing to hold it steady in the wind.
Motorised dishes
One dish that turns between satellites, for homes that want channels from several countries.
Hotbird, 13° east
Polish, Italian and Arabic TV, from a second dish or a second LNB on the same dish where the angle allows.
Dish positions and planning rules in Amersham
A few rules decide where a dish can go, and we check them before we drill.
Listed and older homes in Amersham
Old Amersham's coaching inns and timber-framed cottages need aerials nobody sees. Loft installs, rear-of-stack fixings and cables kept inside.
Facing the road
Inside a conservation area, a dish on a wall or roof slope that faces the road normally needs permission, so we use the side or back of the house.
Flats and leasehold
Many leases restrict dishes on the outside wall. We can connect you to a communal dish or fit one where the freeholder agrees.
A clear view south-east
Whatever the rules allow, the dish needs a clear view of the south-eastern sky. We check that before choosing the spot.

Amersham satellite: common questions
Quick answers before you book.
I have left Sky. Can I keep the dish for Freesat?
Usually, yes. We check the dish, LNB and cable, and replace only what is worn.
Can a dish go on the back of my Amersham house instead?
Yes, as long as the new spot has a clear view of the south-eastern sky. We fill the old holes too.
Can you set up Polish, Turkish or Arabic channels in Amersham?
Yes. We fit dishes for Hotbird, Astra 19.2°E, Turksat and others, or a motorised dish for several.
Why does my satellite picture go in heavy rain?
Heavy rain and snow cut the signal a little. A dish that is perfectly aimed copes; one that is slightly off drops out. We re-peak it.
Do I need planning permission for a dish in Amersham?
Usually not, but conservation areas and listed buildings have rules. We tell you before we start if your spot needs permission.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Amersham?
There is a call-out charge for a visit. Phone and WhatsApp advice costs nothing, and we give an accurate guide price before starting.
