Where your dish points in Soham
From Soham, 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 Soham that means facing 146° SSE, tilted 24.8° 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 Soham
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Soham for Sky and Freesat customers in the town and the villages towards Newmarket and Ely.
Annexes, stables and staff flats
Around Fordham, Chippenham and Kennett, many properties have annexes, staff cottages or flats over stables as well as the main house. We feed them from one dish with a multi-output LNB, or fit a separate dish where the cable run would be too long.
Not sure what's wrong? Describe it to an engineer on the phone and get a straight answer, with your price.
New homes in town
From Soham the satellites sit to the south-east. On new-builds we fit the dish on a side or rear wall facing that way and run the cable inside to wherever you want the box.
Freesat
Freesat gives you the main channels in HD with no monthly bill, useful for second TVs and for fen homes where Freeview is weak.
Dish moves
Building an extension, re-roofing or adding solar panels? We take the dish down, refit it in a clear position afterwards and realign it with a meter.
Satellite problems we fix in Soham
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
