Where your dish points in Sprowston
From Sprowston, 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 Sprowston that means facing 147° SSE, tilted 24.9° 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 Sprowston
We fit and repair satellite dishes in Sprowston, Old Catton and Rackheath for Sky and Freesat customers.
Solar panels and loft conversions
A lot of our Sprowston work comes from home improvements: a loft conversion, new roof or solar panels means the old dish has to move. We take it down before the work, refit it in a clear south-easterly position afterwards and realign it with a meter.

Older systems
In established streets, dishes may have been fitted decades ago with cheap cable that has since let in water, or with splitters that weaken the signal to second rooms. We replace the cable and LNB where needed and set up proper multi-room feeds.
New homes towards Rackheath
On the newer estates, some homes have covenants on dish positions; check your deeds and we'll fit to suit.
Freesat for second TVs
Freesat gives you subscription-free HD channels from the same dish, ideal for a bedroom, conservatory or garden room.
