There are lots of TV systems and bundles on the market, but which one fits your needs?

Freeview, Freesat or Commercial

FREEVIEW TV - In 2005 Great Britain switched to broadcasting digital television and all televisions sold from 2008 were required to be digital broadcast compliant. If your TV wasn't digital ready it required a set top decoder in order to receive the digital channels.

It is still required to have an antenna linked to your set top box or digital TV in order to receive the television broadcasts. The sort of TV antenna or aerial you have hooked up is especially important areas with a poor signal.

Freeview, through a suitable TV aerial, offers national programmes together with Didcot regional programming. It is quite possible, depending on your specific location and signal strength, to pick up as many as 90 channels; up to 15 HD (High Definition) and 70 + SD (Standard Definition) with Freeview. Freeview can in addition receive at least 30 digital radio stations through your television.

FREESAT - Contrary to Freeview, which uses an aerial, Freesat needs a satellite dish to pick up television and radio broadcasts. If your television set has a "DVB-S" connection, you might not require an independent digital decoder to view television and radio broadcasts.

Satellite Dish Installation Didcot - Freesat - Sky

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

In the Didcot area you will be able to watch nearly 300 satellite channels (200+ SD, 20+ HD and 40+ digital radio stations) using a basic installation of a Freesat box and dish.

Commercial Packages

It is entirely possible to watch the free services of BT, VIRGIN and SKY with a channel count similar to Freeview or Freesat without needing to register for their premium content. All that is required is an aerial or satellite dish and a decent decoder box.

Charges fluctuate across the premium range of packages and can be tweaked to satisfy your family's or business needs. From movies, concerts and sports events, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can pick from the over 400 channels and watch movies and box sets 24 hours a day.

Many commercial broadcasters also feature content streaming using your broadband.

Whatever service you opt for, Freesat, commercial or Freeview, there are options available to record programmes directly onto a digital decoder, or onto an external drive, to watch programmes at your leisure.

Aerial Fitters Didcot

A TV aerial needs to have a clear line of vision to the broadcasting station in order to get the strongest possible signal. If your home's roof is not elevated enough to enable the aerial to clear nearby properties, trees and obstacles, it might have to be fitted to a pole to ensure it's situated high enough.

It's recommended that any aerial installation in Didcot is undertaken by an experienced and qualified aerial installer. The Confederation of Aerial Industries offers accreditation and training to aerial installation technicians and companies, and gives clients a good level of trust in their installation crew.

Satellite Dish Installation Didcot

A satellite dish is just another way to receive broadcast signals and as such will still need as clear a line of sight as possible to the transmitting station. A poorly situated satellite dish can weaken a signal if it is to some degree obstructed by trees, buildings and other obstacles that hinder the reception.

The installing of a satellite dish calls for perfect alignment, so the aerial technician will carry out tests with specialised equipment to make sure this is correct. As the alignment of the satellite dish is crucial for the best performance of the system, the dish is then firmly fixed in place in order to avoid any possibility of it moving.

What Does Aerial Installation Entail?

Any type of installation, satellite dish or TV antenna will require an on-site survey so the installers can plan the task. The on-site survey will include entry points to the property for the cabling required, safe routing of the cable and reliable fixing points for the television antenna or dish. The survey is very important if you need more than one room to be provided with a TV. As soon as the has been completed the installers should be able to present you with a definitive estimate for the work.

The actual installation process sees the aerial fixed to your home and signal strength tested. To experience the best readings there will be some fine adjustments to the positioning of the aerial or dish. The cable entry holes will then be drilled and sealed, and the cable passed through and securely mounted along its course to the satellite dish or aerial.

Finally a connection is made to your TV set or decoder box and the setup and installation of the system is completed. This will include the tuning and storing of all the television channels that are available on your favoured platform.

Qualifications and Professional Organisations

To stay clear of poor workmanship and to give consumers in Didcot peace of mind when installing an aerial, there are a number of trade associations who provide accreditation and training to selected aerial installation technicians.

TV Aerial Booster Didcot

It can be irritating trying to view TV in a low signal area. If the signal isn't strong enough, your TV, pictures can become pixelated or you could get missing or intermittent audio. It is simple to amplify the signal that you receive by using a TV aerial booster.

For the very best outcome it is advised to install the signal booster as near to your aerial as is possible. This is to magnify the signal near to the signal source and ensure that additional losses are not introduced by the cabling to your TV before amplification.

A site survey from a reputable Didcot aerial installer will check your existing antenna and assess the signal level in the area, so as to install the optimal booster for your situation. It may be determined that an internal booster is OK due to personal circumstances, e.g. a communal aerial in a block of flats in Didcot. If this is proposed then a powered signal amplifier will be installed near to the entry point of your TV cable to increase the strength of the signal.

Surround Sound Installation Didcot

Audio technology has made astonishing progress, and surround sound installation is a testament to this. It reshapes the ways in which we engage with entertainment on various fronts. The way we experience gaming, music and movies has been completely transformed by this innovation, which provides a new dimension of auditory immersion that surpasses the regular stereo setup. Surround sound is an intricate audio system that places multiple speakers around a room strategically. This arrangement ingeniously crafts a soundscape that mirrors real-world acoustics, enabling the delivery of sound from various depths and angles. Traditional stereo systems only produce sound from two directions, whereas surround sound produces sound from multiple directions, enveloping the listener in a three-dimensional auditory cocoon.
