How soon can a satellite engineer come to Wendover?
Often within a day or two, and sometimes the same day. Our engineers work from the Aylesbury office.
Satellite TV in Wendover
New satellite dishes, dish repairs, Freesat and international channels across Wendover. Our engineers work from the Aylesbury office, and most jobs are done in one visit.
Local satellite installers in Wendover
Sky Q and Sky Stream dishes, moves and LNB swaps without the wait, sited to clear the beech trees that line so many Wendover gardens.
Where the hill blocks both transmitters, Freesat gives you the main channels from a small dish. A common answer for Wendover Dean and the houses tucked under Bacombe Hill.
In Wendover, as everywhere in the UK, Sky and Freesat come from the Astra and Eutelsat satellites at 28.2 degrees east. We find a clear line of sight to the south-east and aim the dish on a meter.
Advice over the phone or WhatsApp is free, and you get an accurate guide price before any work starts.

New satellite dishes for Wendover homes
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.
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 Wendover house to a side or rear wall, with the old holes filled.
Older houses in High Street and Pound Street
We look for a rear or side wall with a clear view so the street side stays tidy.
Newer homes in World's End and Bacombe Lane
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 Wendover 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.
Free satellite TV for Wendover
Hundreds of free channels with no monthly bill, from a dish on the wall.
Where Freeview struggles
If the aerial picture in your part of Wendover breaks up, satellite is a reliable free alternative.
After leaving Sky
Your existing dish can usually be used for Freesat. We check the LNB and cable and set up the new box.
Recording and catch-up
Freesat boxes record, pause and connect to catch-up apps over your broadband.
More than one TV
Each Freesat box needs its own feed, so we fit a quad or octo LNB and run a cable to each room.
TV from home for Wendover households
Channels from other countries need a dish aimed at a different satellite, often a larger one.
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.
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.
Dish positions and planning rules in Wendover
Most dishes are allowed without planning permission, with a few exceptions.
Listed and older homes in Wendover
Much of the High Street and Pound Street is listed or in the conservation area. We fit aerials in lofts or behind stacks and keep dishes out of sight from the street.
Conservation areas
In a conservation area a dish usually cannot go on a chimney, wall or roof facing the road. We fit it at the side or rear instead.
Listed buildings
A dish on a listed building normally needs listed building consent. A pole in the garden is often the simpler answer.
Line of sight first
The dish must see the south-eastern sky past trees and roofs. We test the spot before fixing anything.
Wendover areas our satellite engineers cover
Every HP22 postcode, from High Street and Pound Street to World's End and Bacombe Lane.
High Street and Pound Street HP22
Brick-and-flint cottages and Georgian fronts in the conservation area. Loft aerials and rear-of-stack fixings, with cables kept out of view.
Wendover Dean and Aylesbury Road HP22
Post-war semis and bungalows, many better on Oxford than Crystal Palace. New aerials and re-cables are the usual job.
World's End and Bacombe Lane HP22
Larger detached homes on the slope, with signal that varies a lot from house to house. A meter survey first, then the right aerial.
Halton HP22
The RAF Halton estate and the newer homes around it. Old cable replaced, extra TV points and wall-mounted TVs in the new-builds.
The Hale and Upper Wendover HP22
Hillside homes in the signal shadow. Taller masts, high-gain aerials and Freesat where the terrestrial picture will not hold.
Wendover Woods and Dunsmore HP22
Remote homes and farms on the ridge with slow broadband. Starlink is the most common call, along with Freesat.
Butlers Cross and Ellesborough HP17
Village homes under Coombe Hill, with weak terrestrial signal and lots of trees. High-gain aerials and well-sited dishes.
Aston Clinton and Buckland HP22
Flatter ground towards the Vale with steadier Oxford coverage. New aerials, Sky dish moves and extra rooms wired in.
Wendover 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 Wendover 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 Wendover?
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 Wendover?
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 Wendover?
There is a call-out charge for a visit. Phone and WhatsApp advice costs nothing, and we give an accurate guide price before starting.
