Where your dish points in Beccles
From Beccles, the Astra satellites at 28.2° east sit to the south-east. These are the angles we set with a meter on every dish here.

- Tilt up

- LNB twist

A few degrees out and the picture drops in heavy rain. We align every dish with a meter, then lock it off.
In Beccles that means facing 148° SSE, tilted 25.1° up, with the LNB turned about 19°. Trees, chimneys and neighbouring extensions in that direction are the usual reasons a dish can't see the satellite, so we check the line of sight before we fit anything.

We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Beccles for Sky and Freesat customers across the town, Worlingham and the villages of the Waveney valley.
Satellite where Freeview struggles
Beccles gets its Freeview from Tacolneston in Norfolk, some distance away, and homes on the low ground by the river can struggle. Satellite doesn't depend on that signal at all. From Beccles the satellites sit to the south-east, and most homes have a clear view in that direction. Freesat gives you the main channels in HD with no monthly fee, which is why it's popular in the lower parts of town and the surrounding marshland villages.

Historic centre
Beccles' old centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings. Dishes there usually can't face and be visible from the road, and listed buildings normally need consent. We look for a rear wall, yard or outbuilding with a clear view, and keep cable runs discreet.
Satellite problems we fix in Beccles
'No satellite signal' after a storm
- Likely cause
- Wind or scaffolders have moved the dish, or a loose bracket has let it droop.
- How we fix it
- Re-secure on a rigid bracket and realign to the right bearing and elevation.
Want satellite in an annexe or barn
- Likely cause
- The main dish is too far away or has no spare output.
- How we fix it
- Run cable from the dish or fit a second small dish.
Told the dish can't go on the front
- Likely cause
- Conservation-area or listed-building rules about dishes facing the road.
- How we fix it
- We find a compliant position at the side, rear or below the roofline.
Dish in the way of solar panels or an extension
- Likely cause
- Building work where the dish is fixed.
- How we fix it
- Take it down, refit it in a clear spot and realign with a meter.
Picture drops out in heavy rain
- Likely cause
- A dish a fraction of a degree out of line, or an ageing LNB with no signal margin left.
- How we fix it
- Realign with a satellite meter and replace the LNB if it's failing.
Some channels missing
- Likely cause
- A weak or noisy signal where only the strongest channels get through, often a corroded connector.
- How we fix it
- New weather-sealed connectors and cable, and a meter-checked alignment.
