A dish that's a degree or two off will work fine on a clear day and drop the moment clouds roll in. We mount and align to peak signal quality — not just “good enough” — using proper meters so your picture holds when the weather turns. On an exposed coast like ours, that margin is the difference between watching through a storm and staring at a frozen screen.
We'll advise on the best mounting point for your roof, wall or pole — somewhere strong, serviceable and out of the worst of the wind — and bolt it down to stay put. A dish on the seaward gable takes a beating; tucked behind a parapet or on a sheltered face, the same dish lasts far longer and holds alignment.
Alignment is a meter job, not an eyeball job. We set azimuth, elevation and LNB skew to the satellite for the highest signal quality your location allows, then weatherproof every fixing and connection so salt and damp can't undo the work. The result is a stable, repeatable signal you can rely on.
If you've got an existing dish that drifts, drops or was never quite right, we'll re-aim and re-seal it rather than rip it out — often a quick, affordable fix that transforms the picture. And if the mount itself is rusted or undersized for our wind, we'll tell you honestly and sort it properly.
Every alignment ends with a stability check in real conditions and a signal-quality reading you can see, so you know it's done right before we leave.
If you're not sure whether your signal trouble is the dish, the cable or the decoder, that's exactly what the survey sorts out — we meter the whole chain before touching anything, so you only pay to fix what's actually wrong. On a coast where the wind genuinely moves things, getting the mount and the aim right together is what turns a temperamental picture into one you stop thinking about.
Homes with a weak, drifting or storm-affected signal, or anyone fitting a new dish who wants it aligned by meter, not by eye.
