TV Aerial Installation Filton

It could be that you have recently purchased a new house where no TV aerial or satellite dish has been fitted or it's been taken away by the sellers. Many householders in Filton are uneasy at the thought of working at the heights involved in installing or replacing a television aerial. This is when you are going to need the assistance of an experienced TV aerial installer.

But what television systems are out there?

FREEVIEW - Since the United Kingdom switched to digital broadcasting in 2005, all TVs that were sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and include an inbuilt digital decoder. For older televisions an independent decoder box was necessary.

It is still required to have a suitable TV antenna linked to your digital TV or set top box in order to receive the TV channels. The right antenna for your area is hugely important to be sure of getting a strong signal from the closest TV broadcast transmitter.

With Freeview you'll get Filton regional programming combined with the principal national channels. Dependent on your exact location and signal strength, there are over 70 SD and up to 15 HD channels available. Freeview also offers in excess of 30 digital radio stations, both national and regional for you to listen to via your television.

FREESAT - Freesat uses a satellite dish to pick up television and radio programmes so a traditional antenna is not needed. Some TVs come with an in built decoder (DVB-S), however in most cases you will need a satellite decoder linked to the satellite dish to watch broadcasts.

To receive the maximum amount of channels you need good signal strength and quality levels, which are helped by a correctly sized dish and associated LNB (Low Noise Block). A larger dish when appropriately matched with a Low Noise Block can collect weaker signals, giving you a better chance of receiving channels from a wide range of countries and stations.

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

Premium satellite TV companies like BT, VIRGIN and SKY also provide a free service akin to Freeview or Freesat, where committing yourself to a subscription isn't a necessity. All you'll need is a satellite dish or TV aerial and an acceptable decoder.

Rates fluctuate across the premium range of packages and can be tweaked to match the needs of your family. With over four hundred channels including new movies, live shows and live sports and even exclusive TV shows and box sets, there's something for everybody to relish.

You can also connect into different digital services via your broadband for an even wider choice of programming and special features.

You need never miss out on another TV program by using the options on many digital decoders to record straight to an onboard disk drive, or to some form of external memory.

A television aerial should have as clear a path to the broadcasting station as possible in order to get the strongest signal. If your property's roof is not high enough to allow the aerial to clear nearby trees, obstacles and properties, it may have to be fixed on a pole to ensure it is raised high enough.

A qualified and experienced aerial installer is recommended to undertake any work that is needed. For peace of mind look for the letters CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) whenever you're reviewing an aerial installer and be confident in the knowledge that they've trained and qualified to execute any installation work required.

As is the case with any kind of antenna, a satellite dish needs to be in a position where there is no obstruction between itself and the signal transmitter; in this case the satellite in orbit high above Filton. Trees, buildings and other obstacles can significantly weaken the signal and lead to unwanted interference.

The satellite dish installation involves accurate placement and alignment, therefore the aerial technician will carry out tests with specialist equipment to make sure this is correct. Since the alignment of your satellite dish is crucial for the optimum system performance, the dish is then solidly fastened in place in order to avoid any movement.

Any sort of installment, satellite dish or television antenna will require an on-site survey for the installers to plan the job. This should set out the specifics of any points of entry for the cables and the route the cable will have to travel from the antenna or satellite dish to the final destination on the inside of property. This is especially critical for multi-room systems using the same TV antenna or satellite dish. After the you should be presented with an accurate quote from the installation team.

A local aerial installation company in Filton should have expertise in the signal strengths and issues associated with the area. With this knowledge they'll supply equipment that guarantees the best possible signal clarity and reception.

The actual installation will see the television aerial affixed to the house and signal strength evaluated. There may perhaps be some fine adjustments necessary during this process to ensure the best coverage. The aerial cable can then be run and anchored along its pre-planned course, in through the entry point and ended at the final position within your house.

The final stage of the installation will be the connection to your TV set or decoder box and the setting up and testing of the whole system. At this point the TV and radio channels will be tuned into and stored on your apparatus.

Potential customers in Filton can gain peace of mind by choosing an aerial installer who is trained and accredited by a trade association within the aerial industry.

Aerial Repositioning

To improve reception in Filton, TV aerials should be aligned properly. This will ensure they get the best possible signal, without signal bounces. However, if your aerials aren't aligned properly, you could end up losing some channels. The following tips can help you adjust your TV aerial correctly.

Typically, poorly aligned TV aerials can cause the image on your screen to look like a double image. This problem is referred to as ghosting. The problem occurs when two signals are sent from the aerial and the signal from the TV sets are at different timings. If this happens, you should reposition your TV aerial.

The simplest way to get your aerial repositioned is to contact a professional. A qualified TV aerial installer will be able to give you advice on the best placement and will be able to give you a quote. Another way to fix the problem is to run a new coax cable outside and put in a new aerial socket through the wall. It is important to seal the new aerial socket well to prevent damp.

TV aerial repositioning is not a difficult process for an expert installer in Filton. First of all, you should know the kind of aerial you need. The most popular kind the British Isles is the Yagi aerial. This kind of aerial has a long boom-rod with an appropriate angle, and features metal pieces which act as semi-conductors. This means that the TV signal is picked up by these metal pieces and transmitted down the boom. The result is a wider beam of signal that you can see and hear.
