Where your dish points in Haverhill
From Haverhill, 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.
- Direction
- –
- 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 Haverhill that means facing 146° SSE, tilted 25.1° up, with the LNB turned about 20°. 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.
Satellite engineers in Haverhill
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Haverhill for Sky and Freesat customers across the town, from the terraces near the High Street to the post-war estates and the new developments on the edge of town. Our engineers are local and work in Haverhill every week.
Dishes on new-build homes
Many of Haverhill's newer homes were built without a dish, and some estates have rules about where one can go, usually the side or rear. That's rarely a problem: from Haverhill the satellites sit to the south-east, so a side or rear wall facing that way normally works well. We fit the dish neatly, run the cable inside to where you want the box, and can add feeds for other rooms at the same time.

Estates, terraces and trees
On older estates and terraces, a neighbouring house, a tall hedge or a garden tree can block the view to the south-east. A dish that works in winter may lose signal in summer once the leaves are out. We check the line of sight carefully before fixing anything and, if one wall won't work, find another or use a short pole.
In flats and maisonettes, tenancies often need the landlord's permission for a dish, and some blocks have a shared system instead. We'll check what's allowed and what's already there.
Freesat for second TVs
If you'd like satellite TV in a bedroom or garden room without paying for another Sky box, Freesat gives you subscription-free channels in HD from the same dish.
Satellite problems we fix in Haverhill
Sky Q box can't find the signal
- Likely cause
- An older LNB that isn't the wideband type Sky Q needs.
- How we fix it
- Fit the correct LNB and check every feed.
Second box or room not working
- Likely cause
- The LNB doesn't have enough outputs, or the cable to that room has failed.
- How we fix it
- A multi-output LNB and a new cable run to each box.
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.
Flat's satellite socket is dead
- Likely cause
- A failed multiswitch or riser cable in the block's shared system.
- How we fix it
- We test the flat and the shared equipment and fix whichever has failed.
Worked in winter, fails in summer
- Likely cause
- Trees coming into leaf between the dish and the satellite.
- How we fix it
- Move the dish to a position with a clear view all year.
Want satellite in an annexe or barn
