- Cabling where required
- Connection to compatible Freesat equipment where appropriate

Not Sure Which You Need?
Do I Need a New Dish?
Existing Satellite Dish
An existing suitable dish may sometimes be usable for Freesat, depending on its condition, alignment and compatibility. We check this during your free quote before recommending anything further.
New Freesat Dish Installation
A new installation may be required where there's no suitable existing dish, or where existing equipment is damaged or unsuitable for Freesat reception.
Moving Away From a Satellite Subscription?
Some households moving away from a satellite subscription service may be able to use suitable existing satellite infrastructure for Freesat, depending on the equipment and its condition. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we'll always confirm what's realistic for your setup before any work begins.
Which Is Which?
Freesat vs Freeview
Freesat
Satellite-based television reception, received via a satellite dish pointed at the appropriate satellite.
Freeview
Terrestrial television reception, received via a rooftop TV aerial rather than a satellite dish. See our TV aerial installation page for more detail.
Dish Positioning
What Affects Dish Positioning?
Line of Sight
The dish needs a clear line of sight to the satellite, with no obstructions in the way.
Nearby Buildings & Trees
Neighbouring buildings, trees or other structures can sometimes block a suitable signal path.
Mounting Location
Wall, chimney or roof mounting options depend on your property's construction and layout.
Property Layout & Access
Cabling routes and access for installation vary from property to property.
Not every property has a suitable dish position. We always assess this first before confirming an installation.
How Much Does Freesat Installation Cost?
Free Quote
Final cost depends on whether a suitable dish already exists, the equipment required, mounting location, access, cabling and overall installation complexity. We confirm the exact price after assessing your property.
