Local Freesat Installation Engineers
Freesat uses a satellite dish rather than a standard TV aerial. Because of this, a dependable setup needs the correct dish position, accurate alignment, suitable cabling and a properly tuned Freesat receiver or compatible television.
Dish Installation
We can fit a suitable satellite dish, secure it safely and align it for a strong Freesat signal.
Box Setup
Your Freesat box or compatible TV can be connected, tuned and checked before the engineer leaves.
Signal Testing
We test signal strength and quality to reduce the risk of missing channels, freezing pictures and dropouts.
Repair Advice
If you already have a dish, we can check whether a repair or realignment is better than a new installation.
What Is Freesat?
Freesat is a subscription-free satellite TV service. It is a popular choice for customers who want a wide range of free TV and radio channels without a monthly TV package.
Unlike Freeview, which uses a TV aerial, Freesat receives channels through a satellite dish. Therefore, it can be a useful option for properties where aerial reception is limited or unreliable.
A good Freesat setup depends on the signal
A dish can look fine from the ground but still be slightly out of alignment. In addition, old cable, water-damaged connectors, LNB faults or poor routing can affect your viewing.
For that reason, our engineers check the setup properly. Once the system is connected, they test the signal and make sure the available channels are tuned correctly.

Professional Freesat Installation Services
A Freesat installation should be neat, safe and carefully tested. As a result, you get a system that is set up for reliable everyday viewing rather than one that only works when conditions are perfect.
New Freesat satellite dish installation
If your property does not already have a suitable dish, our engineer can advise on a practical position and cable route. The dish must have a clear line of sight, secure fixing and accurate alignment.
After fitting, the satellite feed is connected to your Freesat box or compatible TV. The system is then tested so the signal quality can be checked properly.
Using an existing satellite dish
In some cases, an existing dish can be used for Freesat. However, it needs to be safe, correctly aligned and connected with suitable cable. We can test the dish and explain whether it is worth using.
If the existing setup is not suitable, we will explain why and provide a clear quote for the work needed.

Every property is different, so the work required can vary. However, a typical Freesat service may include the following.
Installation and setup
