Satellite Dish Info

Over the past 10 years I have seen many sizes, types, and brands of dish in operation (or not operating as the case may be).
In my experience a dish with anything less than 1.2m diameter will cause you problems with lost signal and constant resetting of your receiver in poor weather conditions.
The very best brand of dish is, in my opinion, a Gibertini. This type has all the features you need to optimise reception and is the dish of choice for consciencious installers.

The LNB connected to the dish is also an important factor again there are many brands with different specifications.
If you have a simple installation you may only need a standard single LNB. If you want to connect many systems to the dish then you can upgrade to twin, quad and even six and eight point LNBs. In general the more systems you can attach to the LNB the more expensive the LNB. It's worth paying for a decent brand with the right spec for your needs.

Another important factor to consider when choosing installer or the system you need is siting. Where is your dish going to sit? Will it be on roof? A terrace? Attached to a wall? Each location can present individual problems and siting is an important part of getting a good signal. Using quality brackets, poles and fixings helps to prevent the dish moving in high winds. All our intallations come with a three month guarantee against dish movement.

If you need advice about your current installation or want a system installed or upgraded please email me.
