Where your dish points in Kesgrave
From Kesgrave, 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 Kesgrave that means facing 147° SSE, tilted 25.4° 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.
Satellite engineers in Kesgrave
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Kesgrave for Sky and Freesat customers across the town, from Grange Farm and the roads off Main Road to the homes towards Martlesham Heath and Rushmere.
Trees and line of sight
Kesgrave is a leafy town, and many homes have mature trees in their own and neighbouring gardens. Trees that were small when a dish was fitted can now be tall enough to block the view to the satellites in the south-east, especially in summer. If your Sky or Freesat picture has got worse over the years, that's often the reason. We check the line of sight and move the dish to a position with a clear view all year.

Multi-room and family homes
Family homes in Kesgrave often need satellite in the living room, a teenager's bedroom, a home office or a garden room. We fit a multi-output LNB, run neat cable to each room and can combine satellite, aerial and network cabling behind wall-mounted TVs. Many households keep Sky downstairs and add Freesat elsewhere to avoid paying for extra boxes.

Picture drops out in heavy rain

Some channels missing
