Fitting a dish in Wolverton
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.
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 Wolverton house to a side or rear wall, with the old holes filled.
Older houses in the railway terraces
We look for a rear or side wall with a clear view so the street side stays tidy.
Newer homes in the newer Wolverton homes
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 for Wolverton 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.
Wolverton Freesat installation
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 Wolverton 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.
International satellite TV in Wolverton
Channels from other countries need a dish aimed at a different satellite, often a larger one.
Turksat, 42° east
Turkish TV needs a bigger dish in the UK and a solid fixing to hold it steady in the wind.
Nilesat, 7° west
Arabic channels from North Africa and the Middle East, from a dish aimed south-west rather than south-east.
Astra, 19.2° east
Channels from Germany, France and Spain, from a dish aimed a little east of the Sky satellites.
Dual-feed dishes
Two LNBs on one dish, so Freesat and a second satellite such as Hotbird share a single dish.
Dish positions and planning rules in Wolverton
Most dishes are allowed without planning permission, with a few exceptions.
Listed and older homes in Wolverton
Parts of Wolverton are conservation area. Discreet aerials on the railway terraces.
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.

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