FAQ
READ OUR TIPS & ADVICE
Satellite dish installation costs can vary depending on the location of the dish, signal requirements, and any necessary equipment. At our company, we assess each situation on-site and provide a detailed quote based on your needs. We do not charge a call-out fee, ensuring that you're informed before any work begins.
Freeview is a terrestrial television service that is received via a TV aerial, not a satellite dish. To access Freeview channels, you'll need a compatible aerial system. However, if you're looking for free-to-air satellite services, Freesat is the equivalent platform that works with satellite dishes.
Yes, in many cases, an existing satellite dish can be used to receive free-to-air satellite channels such as those available through Freesat. It may require a Freesat-compatible receiver and a quick check to ensure the dish is correctly aligned. A professional installer can confirm compatibility and reconfigure the system if necessary.
Yes, it is generally legal to remove a satellite dish from your property, especially if you are the property owner. If you're in a rented property, you may need to seek the landlord's permission first. It's also advisable to ensure that removal is done safely and does not damage the structure of the building.
In most cases, planning permission is not required to install a satellite dish, particularly for standard installations. However, there are restrictions for listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flats or apartment buildings. It's best to consult your local council or a professional installer who understands current planning guidelines in your area.
