Hello Heidi,
Im sorry I dont know any installers in Belgium. Your best bet is to contact the british expat community & seek advice on dish size & prices or maybe Mr Johan Saelens
could advise you as he has better local knowledge than I in your country.

Walking through East Sussex recently I was surprised to see a few surviving band one VHF Antennas for the old 405 line service,pointed towards London. As we have had two hurricanes since the demise of the 405 services it is a great tribute to the skill of the original installers!
