Where your dish points in Wymondham
From Wymondham, 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 Wymondham 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 Wymondham
We install, move and repair satellite dishes in Wymondham and Hethersett for Sky and Freesat customers. Being so close to the Tacolneston mast, most homes here get excellent Freeview, so people who call us usually want Sky, a second Freesat box, or a dish moved for building work.
Dishes and extensions
Wymondham's family homes are often extended upwards or outwards, and the old dish ends up in the way of scaffolding, a new roof or solar panels. We take it down, refit it on a new wall or roof position with a clear south-easterly view, realign it with a meter and re-run the cable so it's tidy inside.

New estates and listed streets
On the estates off the A11, some developers restrict dishes to the side or back of the house, so check your deeds before booking. In the centre around the Abbey and Market Cross, a dish usually shouldn't be on a front elevation, and listed buildings normally need consent.
Satellite problems we fix in Wymondham
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
