Where your dish points in Newmarket
From Newmarket, 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.

A few degrees out and the picture drops in heavy rain. We align every dish with a meter, then lock it off.
In Newmarket that means facing 146° SSE, tilted 24.9° 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 Newmarket
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Newmarket for homes, training yards, stud farms and businesses. Satellite is especially popular in and around Newmarket, where racing channels and multi-room viewing are part of daily life in many households and yards.
One dish, many buildings
A typical yard or stud has a main house, staff cottages, flats over the stables and an office. Each can have its own satellite feed from one well-placed dish, using a multi-output LNB and distribution equipment, with cable run underground or along existing routes. It looks tidier than a dish on every building and is easier to keep working.

Clear views and open land
From Newmarket the satellites sit to the south-east. The open land around the town usually gives a clear view, but shelter belts of trees around paddocks and yards can block it, particularly in summer. We check the line of sight carefully, looking ahead to the leaves, and choose a position that will work all year.
Satellite problems we fix in Newmarket
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.
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
- 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.
'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.
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.
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.

Call 0800 151 2978Can one dish feed several buildings?
Yes. With the right LNB and distribution equipment, one dish can feed the main house, cottages, flats and offices, each with its own feed.
Can you fit a dish on a period house without spoiling it?
Usually. We prefer side, rear or outbuilding positions, or a discreet ground mount with a clear view to the south-east.
Do you cover villages around Newmarket?
Yes, including Exning, Kentford, Moulton, Dullingham, Cheveley and Fordham.
