New satellite dishes for Calverton homes
From a first dish to a whole-house system, fitted neatly and tested at every box.
Dishes for Sky
A new dish, LNB and cable for Sky Q, fitted and aligned on the meter.
Freesat dish installation
A new dish with the right LNB for the number of Freesat boxes you have.
Dish moves
An old dish moved off the front of a Calverton house to a side or rear wall, with the old holes filled.
Older houses in Lower Weald
We look for a rear or side wall with a clear view so the street side stays tidy.
Newer homes in the newer homes near Stony Stratford
If the builder left cables in the loft or a media point, we connect a dish to them rather than drilling new holes.
Satellite in more rooms
New cable runs and a quad or octo LNB so each room has its own satellite feed.
Satellite repairs for Calverton dishes
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.
Freesat in Calverton
Freesat gives you free-to-air TV from satellite, with no subscription.
A backup to the aerial
Some Calverton 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 Calverton households
We fit dishes for channels from Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and beyond.
Hotbird, 13° east
Polish, Italian and Arabic TV, from a second dish or a second LNB on the same dish where the angle allows.
Motorised dishes
One dish that turns between satellites, for homes that want channels from several countries.
Dual-feed dishes
Two LNBs on one dish, so Freesat and a second satellite such as Hotbird share a single dish.
Astra, 19.2° east
Channels from Germany, France and Spain, from a dish aimed a little east of the Sky satellites.
Dish positions and planning rules in Calverton
A few rules decide where a dish can go, and we check them before we drill.
Listed and older homes in Calverton
Older farmhouses and cottages, some listed. Loft aerials and discreetly placed dishes.
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.

Calverton 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 Calverton 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 Calverton?
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 Calverton?
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 Calverton?
There is a call-out charge for a visit. Phone and WhatsApp advice costs nothing, and we give an accurate guide price before starting.
