Sky UK

In use the Flat dish was fine with the Uk Sky service, I have installed them in most parts of the Uk. The meter indicated a weakish signal in bad weather, but in practice, I didn’t see any picture freeze, it is probably as good, if installed with a good digital meter, as any standard Sky mini-dish. The cost is high, but if you don’t have the choice, at least it will get your satellite channels and not attract too much attention. Sky now uses a wideband LNB with 2 outputs (V and H), so if you have SkyQ, you will not be able to use the Selfsat at the moment.

Selfsat also offer to send you ( at a cost of £25 ) a sheet of self-adhesive plastic, printed with the colour ( or pattern ) from any photo you send them, so to blend in with a red wall or brick colour, just send off the picture, then stick on the cover, then like magic, it will disappear!

Non UK Satellite Channels

The Selfsat flat dish works with the French TNT service and German channels. If you’re on the south coast it will work on Fransat too.

See Through Plastic Dishes

This is the Metronic 65cm dish, made of clear plastic it is very difficult to see once mounted on a wall. Additionally, It is also available in an 80cm size, for weaker satellites.

If you would like an installation with a clear plastic dish or a flat dish, just let me know when you fill in the quote form and I will offer these options.
