TV Aerial Installation Coatbridge

On the other hand, you might have recently bought a new home which doesn't currently have a satellite dish or aerial fitted. The setting up of this kind of equipment requires, in most cases, working at height and not all property owners in Coatbridge are comfortable with this aspect of do-it-yourself work. It is at this moment that you need a professional installation company to inspect and install an aerial or satellite dish on your house.

But what sort of system would you prefer?

FREEVIEW - When Britain switched from analogue to digital television broadcasting in 2005, televisions needed to be digital ready to receive any programming. If your TV was not digital compliant it required a set top decoder in order to receive the channels.

It is still necessary to have an appropriate TV antenna linked to your set top box or digital TV in order to receive the television broadcasts. The type of TV antenna or aerial that you have installed is very important in low or weak signal areas.

Freeview, via a suitable TV aerial, offers national channels and Coatbridge regional programming. Depending on your signal strength and exact location, there are up to 15 High Definition (HD) and over 70 Standard Definition (SD) channels available. Freeview can additionally receive more than 30 digital radio stations.

FREESAT - Freesat uses a satellite dish to receive TV and radio broadcasts so a conventional TV antenna is not required. Certain high-tech TVs come complete with an in built decoder (DVB-S), but generally you'll need a digital satellite decoder connected to your satellite dish to pick up the programming.

To pick up the maximum amount of channels you need good quality levels and signal strength, which are helped by an appropriately sized dish and associated LNB (Low Noise Block - the attachment on the dish's arm). You are able to tune in to more free channels from different broadcasters by installing a bigger satellite dish and an LNB with a higher gain to receive weaker signals.

It is possible in Coatbridge even with the cheapest and most basic of Freesat equipment to receive almost 300 channels of programming to enjoy, (200+ SD, 20+ HD, and 40+ Digital Radio).

Commercial and subscription based TV services, like SKY, BT and VIRGIN, all provide a free service comparable to Freeview or Freesat where a subscription or viewing card is not necessarily required. A dedicated digital decoder box and suitable TV aerial or satellite dish is all which is usually required.

Their premium services can be selected to match your family or business needs and prices fluctuate in line with the chosen package. With over 400 channels including movies, concerts and sports events and even exclusive TV shows and box sets, there is something for everybody to enjoy.

It's also possible to connect to additional services via your broadband for an even wider variety of special features and programming.

Whatever service you opt for, Freeview, Freesat or commercial, there are ways to record programmes directly onto your digital decoder, or onto an external hard drive, to watch programmes at a later date.

So as to receive the best possible signal a TV aerial must have a clear path to the main broadcasting station. If your home's roof is not elevated enough to enable the aerial to clear nearby trees, obstacles and properties, it may have to be fitted to a pole to make certain it's situated high enough.

A professional aerial installer will be qualified and be able to install your new TV aerial safely and efficiently. The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) offers accreditation and training to installation technicians and companies, and gives customers a good level of trust in their installation team.

As is the case with any form of aerial, a satellite dish needs to be installed where there are no obstructions between itself and the signal transmitter; in this instance the satellite orbiting high above the earth. An improperly positioned satellite dish can weaken a signal when it is to some degree impeded by trees, buildings and other structures that inhibit the reception.

In the course of the installation process the fitting team will use specialised apparatus to optimise signal strength by careful placement and alignment of your satellite dish. By fine tuning the alignment of the satellite dish to obtain the best possible signal, the dish can then be securely fixed to prevent any possibility of movement because of the effects of the wind.

Any installment, satellite dish or television antenna will call for an on-site survey so the installers can plan the work. The on-site survey will include entry points to the property for the cable, safe routing of the cable and reliable attachment points for the television aerial or satellite dish. The survey is critical if you have more than one room that needs to be supplied with a TV. After this initial survey you should be given an accurate price quote from the aerial installation team.

The knowledge and experience of any signal problems and issues in the Coatbridge area, that a local aerial installer has, will be priceless. With this knowledge they will have the equipment that guarantees the best possible reception and signal strength.

The actual installation sees the TV antenna attached to your property and strength of the signal checked. There may be some fine tuning made during this process to make certain of the best readings. Cables will be run and secured to your property and the cable entry point will have to be drilled and made waterproof.

Testing and initial setup of your TV or digital decoder box is then carried out to finish the installation. The installation process is concluded when all of the TV and radio stations have been scanned for and stored on your system.

When picking out an aerial installation specialist in Coatbridge there are a few industry focused professional organisations that provide trained and accredited, who can give potential customers confidence. The CAI, as alluded to earlier, ensures its registered members uphold and observe aerial industry standards by providing Diploma Level courses and professional accreditation.

Before anyone is allowed to join the CAI an evaluation process will take place. This ensures those companies with the highest standards, skills and dependability in aerial installation can be recognised by potential customers. It's also a stipulation of membership that all work undertaken must be guaranteed for a minimum of a 1 year.

Another way of finding genuine dish and TV antenna installers in Coatbridge is to make use of the Government endorsed, TrustMark scheme. Only members of the Confederation of Aerial Industries may acquire this additional accreditation and approval for signal reception and the home entertainment industry from TrustMark. The service offers an extra layer of trust for consumers and gives them the knowledge they're hiring safe, competent and professional installers.
