Satellite TV systems are commonly run as an additional service to terrestrial TV, or as a complete alternative for properties that struggle to receive a reliable terrestrial signal from their location. A satellite dish is capable of receiving Sky, FreeSat or foreign TV services.
1a Aerials offers the following solutions:
Mid range (galvanised + powder coated steel) £175+VAT
A professional satellite dish with improved shape and increased diameter. 65cm diameter and made from galvanised steel before being powder coated, providing a slightly longer life than the standard ‘Sky’ dish. The larger surface area of the dish catches more signal, providing higher gain and more reliable reception in bad weather. They are also less susceptible to interference from other satellites. Colour options: Slate grey/Off white.
Due to the popularity of fibreglass dishes, there is limited stock of galvanised dishes being manufactured so these dishes can be ordered by request if your budget demands.
Rust resistant (fibreglass) £240+VAT
A high quality, weather resistant and rustproof satellite dish that will last significantly longer than the mid range version (we haven’t been back to any failed fibreglass dishes we’ve installed in 25 years). The dish is 55cm diameter and made entirely from fibreglass. Its aluminium arm and galvanised steel back plates ensures the complete product is fully sealed to resist wind and moisture of challenging levels.
Colour options: Slate grey / Off-white. Read more about fibreglass dishes here.
We no longer install Sky/Mini Dishes
Commonly referred to as a ‘Sky’ or ‘Mini’ dish and supplied as standard with Sky or Freesat retail packages, the manufacture of these dishes (powder coasted steel) has reduced considerably in quality over the last 10 years to the point where we are no longer happy to provide such a poor level product. These dishes are susceptible to interference during bad weather and can rust within 1-2 years if heavily exposed to the sea air.
NB: Prices quoted cover a standard satellite installation on a property of up to 2 storeys. Price includes supply and fit of the satellite dish, wall bracket, quad LNB and up to 15 metres of cable routed neatly to the internal TV point.
