Where your dish points in St Neots
From St Neots, 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.

- 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 St Neots that means facing 146° SE, tilted 24.7° 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 St Neots
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in St Neots for Sky and Freesat customers across the town and the villages around it.
Commuter homes and multi-room
With fast trains to London and Cambridge close by, many St Neots households are busy families who want Sky or Freesat in the living room, bedrooms and a home office. We fit multi-output LNBs and run neat cable to each room, planned so nothing trails across the walls.

New-builds
Many homes at Loves Farm and Wintringham were handed over without a dish. From St Neots the satellites sit to the south-east, so a side or rear wall facing that way usually works. We'll check your deeds for any restrictions and keep the installation tidy.
Riverside trees
Along the Great Ouse and in older gardens, tall trees can block the view, sometimes only once they're in leaf. We check the line of sight with summer in mind and may use a higher position.
Satellite problems we fix in St Neots
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.
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.
'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.
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.
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.
