Ground mounted motorised dishes are designed to withstand Shetland's extreme weather.

If you want to substantially increase your viewing choice, we offer both fixed dish multiple LNB's and motorised satellite dishes and multi-sat receivers that can allow you to log up to 8,000 TV & Radio channels.

These channels are transmitted from up to 35 satellites located in the Clarke Belt and can be received 60° north - many of which are Free-to-Air and in the English language.

Channels can include European stations - plus hundreds of other stations Worldwide including news, documentaries, movies, music and sport. You could even watch live transmissions from MSNBC in the USA or programs from as far away as Taiwan!

We highly recommend the Technomate 5400CI or 5200 receiver (see below) that has both DiSEqC and USALS and does a 'blind search' of ALL available built-in satellites, transponders and related channels - without any effort on your part!

Although some motorised installations need to be wall-mounted, we do recommend a ground-mounted installation wherever possible because of high winds in the Northern Isles. As shown in the pictures, the dish is mounted 6" off the ground and nicely battles storm force winds without any damage!
