Sky & Freesat Satellite Services
Pegasus Aerials provides Sky and Freesat satellite dish installation, repair and maintenance across Ormskirk, West Lancashire and Merseyside areas.
Whether you’ve lost your satellite signal, need a replacement dish or LNB, moving home, or want a new Freesat installation, I can test the system, identify the fault and recommend the most suitable solution.
I also remove redundant satellite dishes, seal holes and, where possible, can position new dishes discreetly to minimise their appearance on your property.
Satellite Dish Installation
I install satellite dishes for Freesat and existing Sky satellite systems, using quality equipment and positioning the dish for reliable reception while keeping the installation as neat and discreet as possible.
Whether you’re moving home, replacing an old or damaged dish, or need a new Freesat installation, I’ll check the available satellite signal and select a suitable mounting position. Where line of sight allows, I’ll always consider a less prominent position, such as a side or rear wall, to minimise the appearance of the dish on your property.
The dish will then be professionally installed and accurately aligned for reliable reception. I use suitable galvanised brackets and secure fixings into solid brickwork, never wooden fascia boards. New cabling can also be installed where required, with cables routed as neatly and discreetly as possible to your satellite receiver.
Freesat Installation
Freesat provides a wide range of subscription-free TV and radio channels through a satellite dish, with no monthly TV subscription.
I can install a new Freesat-compatible satellite dish and cabling, or check whether an existing Sky dish and cabling can be reused for Freesat.
If you already have a suitable dish, there may be no need to replace it. I can check the existing installation and make any changes required to get your Freesat equipment working correctly.
Discreet Sky Q & Mini Box Mounting
If your TV is wall-mounted, I can also install your Sky Q or Sky Q Mini box discreetly behind the television using a purpose-made bracket.
Once the TV is in position, the Sky box is hidden from view. Depending on the wall construction, cabling may also be concealed for a neat, uncluttered finish without the need for a separate shelf or TV unit.
This service is available as part of a new installation or can be added to an existing Sky Q setup.
FREESAT VS FREEVIEW – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Freeview and Freesat both provide subscription-free television, but they receive their channels in different ways. Freeview uses a TV aerial to receive terrestrial television signals, while Freesat receives its channels via a satellite dish.
For homes with good terrestrial reception, Freeview is often the simplest option, particularly where TV is required in several rooms. In areas where Freeview reception is poor or unreliable, Freesat can provide an excellent alternative. Freeview Play combines live Freeview channels with on-demand and catch-up services on compatible TVs and recorders. An internet connection is required for the online features.
Freesat requires a compatible TV with a built-in Freesat tuner (commonly found on selected LG and Panasonic models) or a separate Freesat receiver at each viewing point, with suitable satellite cabling connected to the dish or distribution equipment. Freeview can usually be distributed more simply to several televisions from a single aerial system.
Not sure which is best for your property? I can check the available signals and advise whether Freeview, Freesat or a combination of both would be the most suitable solution.
SKY & FREESAT REPAIRS & SIGNAL PROBLEMS
If you’re experiencing loss of signal, picture break-up or intermittent reception, I can test your satellite system to identify the cause and carry out the necessary repairs.
Common faults include dishes that have moved out of alignment, faulty LNBs, deteriorated cabling and connections, or damage caused by weather and age.
Where possible, I’ll repair and realign your existing system rather than replace it unnecessarily. If equipment is beyond repair, I can replace the affected components and accurately align the dish for reliable reception.

SKY DISHES & MOVING HOME
If you’re moving home and already have Sky satellite TV, I can relocate your existing satellite dish to your new property or supply and install a new dish and cabling where required.
I can also check and reuse a dish already installed at your new home, provided it’s suitable and in good condition.
I can replace old or damaged Sky dishes, LNBs and cabling, relocate existing dishes to a better or more discreet position where suitable, and provide additional or replacement satellite cable runs.
I work on existing Sky satellite systems and dish installations, but don’t supply Sky subscriptions or equipment such as receivers.

SATELLITE DISH REMOVAL
If you have an old Sky or Freesat dish that’s no longer in use, I can safely remove the redundant dish, brackets and external cabling where appropriate.
This is particularly useful when changing to a different TV service, moving into a property with unwanted satellite equipment, or simply tidying up the outside of your home.
Where possible, I’ll remove the old fixings and leave the installation area neat and tidy. Any holes left by removed fixings or cabling will be sealed with a suitable exterior-grade sealant to help prevent water ingress.
