Where your dish points in Woodbridge
From Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Woodbridge for Sky and Freesat customers in the town, Melton and the surrounding villages. Much of our work here is finding discreet positions on period homes, so you get a reliable picture without a dish dominating a historic street.
Dishes in the conservation area
Woodbridge's centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings. In a conservation area, a dish usually can't be fitted on a chimney, wall or roof slope that faces onto and is visible from a road, and listed buildings normally need consent. Fortunately, from Woodbridge the satellites lie to the south-east, and many homes have a rear wall, garden or outbuilding facing that way. We'll find the position that works and talk you through the rules before fitting.

The Deben valley and trees
Woodbridge's hillside streets and mature gardens can block the view to the south-east, and riverside homes sit low. We check the line of sight carefully, allowing for summer leaves, and use a short pole or ground mount where a wall position won't work.
Satellite problems we fix in Woodbridge
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.
Told the dish can't go on the front
- Likely cause
- Conservation-area or listed-building rules about dishes facing the road.
- How we fix it
- We find a compliant position at the side, rear or below the roofline.
'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.
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.

FAQ
Common questions
Free advice, no obligation. Tell us your postcode and what's wrong.
Call 0800 151 2978Can I have a satellite dish in Woodbridge's conservation area?
Usually, but it shouldn't face and be visible from the road, and listed buildings normally need consent. We find compliant positions at the rear or below the roofline.
Can you hide the dish on a period house?
Often. A rear wall, garden mount or outbuilding with a clear view to the south-east keeps the front of the house clear.
Do you cover villages around Woodbridge?
Yes, including Melton, Martlesham, Ufford, Sutton, Waldringfield and Wickham Market.
