 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris did a fantastic job mounting my TV. He was very professional and knowledgeable, and did a really tidy job hiding all the wires so everything looks clean and neat. He was punctual, got back to me quickly with a quote, and everything was straightforward from start to finish. I’m really pleased with the result and would definitely recommend him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want to get your TV mounted by a professional, look no further. Chris provides excellent service at a fair price, responds quickly to messages, turns up on time, and is a pleasure to deal with. I wasn’t sure what type of wall I had and whether it would support my TV, so he kindly dropped by to assess it and provide a quote before we booked the installation. I’m very happy with the result and highly recommend Elite AV.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris was responsive to messages &  very knowledgeable. We no longer wanted cable TV. We were advised to upgrade an old aerial to a new digital one & he also installed a new aerial point. Great all round service & competitive pricing. Highly recommend. Chris has since wall mounted our TV and he did this with precision & great skill. Fair pricing and great advice given.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris did a great job mounting my TV on a wall (finally out of reach of my toddlerl!) He responded quickly to all my questions and came over really quickly to do the work. He had all the extra cables I needed and made sure the work was done to a high standard. Very friendly service and I will definitely use again for any other AV needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris did a good job mounting our new TV, including concealing the wires. He also moved the plug socket down so that it was positioned fully behind our TV unit. Recommended.

European Satellite Channels & Satellite Options

Unlike standard UK television, European broadcasting relies on aligning your hardware to specific orbital satellite arrays. Elite AV & Electrical custom-designs and aligns satellite configurations to unlock thousands of free-to-air (FTA) and premium channels across various European languages:

Hotbird (13° East) – Italian, French, Polish & Arabic
The ideal satellite position for accessing a massive variety of international channels. It delivers popular networks including Rai (Italy), TV5 Monde (France), and extensive Polish television packages.
Astra 1 (19.2° East) – German, Spanish & French
The premier satellite choice for German households, providing popular free-to-air channels like ZDF, RTL, and ARD, alongside extensive Spanish and French broadcast choices.
Astra 2 (28.2° East) – Multi-LNB UK & European Blends
If you want to view your favourite European channels alongside standard UK Freesat, we can install a specialised multi-LNB bracket on a single dish to capture multiple satellite signals simultaneously.
Eutelsat (5° West) – French Fransat Packages
We supply, install, and configure dedicated Fransat high-definition receivers and aligned dishes to bring official French domestic networks directly to your home.

Our Professional European Satellite Installation Process

Aligning a satellite dish to mainland European broadcast clusters requires exact engineering and precision tools. At Elite AV & Electrical, we follow a structured, transparent process to ensure your international setup delivers flawless picture clarity:

Step 1: Detailed Signal & Language Consultation
We begin with a thorough discussion to understand exactly which countries and languages you wish to access. Our team guides you through the necessary satellite positions (such as Astra or Hotbird) to match your viewing preferences perfectly.
Step 2: Technical Line-of-Sight Site Survey
Our local experts conduct a comprehensive technical survey of your property. Because European satellites sit lower on the UK horizon, we carefully calculate lines of sight, structural tracking paths, and potential tree obstructions to find the perfect mounting location.
Step 3: Meticulous Precision Installation Day
Our certified technicians arrive punctually on your scheduled installation day equipped with advanced digital spectrum analysers. We mount your high-gain dish securely with heavy-duty, weather-resistant brackets and route all cabling neatly out of sight.
Step 4: Receiver Configuration & Tuning
Once the external hardware is locked into position, we connect and fully configure your specialised international set-top box or integrated smart TV. We handle the complex transponder scanning to unlock every available free-to-air channel.
Step 5: Dedicated Local Aftercare Support
Our relationship with our local clients is built on a long-term commitment. After the project is complete, Elite AV & Electrical remains fully available for responsive technical support, storm re-alignments, or general system guidance whenever you need us.

FAQs On European Satellite TV

Q: Can I supply my own international set-top box or equipment?
A: Absolutely. If you prefer to source your own specialised European receiver, smart box, or viewing subscription card, Elite AV & Electrical will be more than happy to provide a professional, labour-only installation service for your satellite dish and cabling.
Q: What is the largest satellite dish I can legally install on my house?
A: Under modern UK planning regulations, most local councils allow a satellite dish up to a maximum diameter of 80cm without requiring formal planning permission, provided it is mounted below the roof line. If your chosen language requires a larger dish, we can frequently install it completely out of public view to ensure compliance.
Q: Do you offer a free local site survey for European satellite tracking?
A: Yes, absolutely. We can visit your property without cost to assess the horizon’s line of sight, evaluate potential tree obstructions, and identify the most discreet routing path for your external cables and internal set-top boxes.

Professional TV Cable Management & Concealment

As an essential part of any professional TV wall mounting project, Elite AV & Electrical carefully plans how to route and conceal the cables from all your connected AV devices—including games consoles, Freeview recorders, Freesat receivers, and Sky Q boxes.

We specialise in three main methods for concealing unsightly wires to match your property’s structure and budget:

Surface Cable Conduit (Trunking)
This is the most cost-effective and non-intrusive option to neatly hide your cabling out of sight. Clean PVC trunking is available in multiple widths, profiles, and shapes (including square and oval) to sit flush against your skirting or walls. The primary advantage is flexibility; you can easily add or remove cables in the future. It is also an excellent, non-permanent solution for rented properties as it can be removed easily without damaging the underlying plasterboard.
Cavity Wall Concealment (Drywall)
If you live in a modern or recently built property, your interior walls are highly likely to be constructed from plasterboard over a timber stud frame. This creates a natural internal void or cavity. At Elite AV & Electrical, we can route all HDMI, optical, and aerial cables completely inside the wall cavity for a flawless, floating look. We finish the entry and exit holes neatly with professional white or brushed-metal cable entry brush plates.
Wall Chasing & Plastering (Solid Brick Walls)
When your walls are constructed from solid brick, blockwork, or concrete, embedding your cables requires a heavy-duty trade approach. Our team uses professional dust-extracted wall-chasing machinery to cut a clean channel deep into the masonry. We install protective conduit piping to house your cables, sink low-profile backboxes, and finish the surface with a smooth bond and plaster skim—leaving the wall entirely flush and ready for you to paint or decorate.

Because we are fully qualified domestic electricians as well as AV specialists, we do not just hide your data cables—we can also safely install or relocate mains power sockets directly behind your television bracket, eliminating trailing extension leads completely.
