The third and final new UK
TV satellite was launched late
December 2014. No exact date
as to when it will be operational,
but some expect it to be before
summer.
Despite what you may have heard,
this new satellite should actually
improve reception of some Sky
pay TV channels, especially those
which can be hard to receive
around mid afternoon.
Satellite dish installations for
UK TV in Javea
Reception of UK TV by satellite TV
in the Javea area has never been
better.
You no longer need the large 1.8m
and 2.4m satellite dishes that have
had to be used for the last 10 - 15
years to receive channels like BBC
ITV Channel 4 and Five. Now, due
to new UK TV satellites, a satellite
dish measuring 100x110cm can
receive these channels.
This sized dish is the very minimum
for stable reception. Ideally the
larger 125x135cm satellite dish is
what we would recommend for the
Javea area, as it gives a bit more
stability in signal.
We have tested other satellite
dishes of this size and found the
satellite dishes we supply and
install to be the best performer for
its size, price and build quality.
Along with a high performing LNB,
and high quality copper coaxial
cabling, we ensure our installations
use the best equipment for the
best signal for your viewing
requirements.

As BBC ITV Channel 4 and Fives
are all free to air via satellite, they
require no subscription or viewing
card to view.
This means that with a Freesat
receiver, you can watch the main
UK TV channels subscription free.
With a Freesat HD receiver, you
can also enjoy 11 subscription free
HD TV channels, including BBC
One HD, BBC Two HD, BBC Three
HD, BBC Four HD, ITV1HD, and
Channel 4HD.
As these channels come direct
from the broadcasters via satellite,
and not via a third party cable,
rebroadcast or internet system,
you can really use your HD TV to
the full with 1080 resolution and
Dolby Digital sound.
With a Freesat+HD receiver, you
can record directly to the built in
hard drive, watch one channel
whilst recording another, and
pause live TV, with no subscription,
all through the simple easy to use
programme guide.
The standard installation of a
125x135cm satellite dish, with a
single output high performance
LNB, a wall bracket or floor
stand and a single cable run can
be supplied and installed from
275euros. Add a Freesat HD
receiver for 125 euros.
Until next time, happy viewing.
