Satellite Installations in Wokingham






In the UK FREESAT and SKY are transmitted from the Astra satellite. If you want to be able to receive satellite TV you’ll need to have a clear line of sight between the Astra satellite and your satellite dish installation.

If you’re installing a satellite dish in Wokingham you need to point it to the south-east. If you are using a compass the exact bearing is 146.4°. If you stand near the where the satellite dish will be installed you can look in this direction to see if there are any major obstacles such as buildings or hills. You also have to look slightly up, at 25° above horizontal if you’re able to measure it. Anything in the way can mean you won’t be able to get satellite TV.

This reliance on a clear line of sight is why we always come out to your house for a free on-site survey. We never start a satellite installation unless we can guarantee you will get good quality, reliable reception. If we don’t feel we can guarantee that we won’t sell you a FREESAT or SKY satellite system.
