But exactly what systems are out there?

Freeview, Freesat or Commercial

FREEVIEW - Since the UK switched to digital television broadcasting in 2005, all televisions that were sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and incorporate a built-in digital decoder. For older TV's a separate decoder was needed.

It matters not if you have a set top box or a digital television; you still need to have an appropriate aerial to pick up the broadcast. The perfect TV antenna or aerial for your area is of huge importance to be sure of getting a strong enough signal from the closest transmitter.

Freeview features all of Great Britain's major channels coupled with regional channels for the Kirkby area. It is possible, depending on your specific location and signal strength, to receive up to 90 channels; over 70 Standard Definition (SD) and up to 15 High Definition (HD) with Freeview. It is also possible to tune in to over 30 digital radio stations from all around Great Britain.

FREESAT - Contrary to Freeview, which receives signals through a digital aerial, Freesat needs a satellite dish to pick up radio and TV programmes. A satellite decoder is needed to receive broadcasts, which some high-tech TVs will already have built in, (look for "DVB-S" on the specifications of the TV).

Satellite Dish Installation Kirkby - Freesat - Sky

To receive the most channels you need good quality levels and satellite signal strength, which are boosted by a correct size of satellite dish and associated Low Noise Block (LNB - the attachment on the dish's arm. A larger dish when appropriately synchronised with a Low Noise Block can latch onto weaker signals, to give you a better chance of picking up channels from different countries and broadcasters.

A basic Freesat box and dish in the Kirkby area should be capable of receiving over 200 channels in SD, more than 20 HD channels and nearly 40 digital radio stations.

Commercial TV Packages

It is possible to enjoy the free services of SKY, BT and VIRGIN with a channel count similar to Freesat or Freeview without needing to pay for their premium content. You'll need to get a dedicated digital decoder box from the company and a suitable satellite dish or TV antenna to receive their channels.

Prices vary across the range of packages and can be modified to satisfy the needs of your family. From new movies, concerts and live sports, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can select from over four hundred channels and watch movies and box sets 24 hours a day.

If you want to record TV programmes to watch at a time that suits you, you can use either the built-in hard drive of some digital decoder boxes, or connect an external hard drive, like a USB flash drive, to store your favourite movie or soap until you want to watch it.

Aerial Fitters Kirkby

A clear line of sight is necessary from the broadcasting antenna to your TV aerial so as to get the best quality signal. This normally means installing it as high up as possible on the roof of your house and possibly even attached to a tall pole to elevate it above trees, neighbouring properties and other obstructions.

A reputable aerial installation contractor will be qualified and be able to install your new TV aerial quickly and safely. The Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI) offers training and certification to aerial installation technicians and companies, and gives clients a good level of trust in their local installation crew.

While a satellite dish gets its signal from a satellite orbiting high above, it still needs as few obstructions as possible to receive an excellent signal. Buildings, trees and other obstacles can adversely affect the signal and trigger unwelcome interference.

The satellite dish installation calls for accurate alignment and placement, so the aerial technician will carry out tests with technical equipment to make certain this is done correctly. By fine tuning the alignment of your dish to get maximum signal strength, the dish will then be solidly installed to avoid any movement resulting from wind or other issues.

What Does Aerial Installation Entail?

Any type of installment, TV aerial or satellite dish will need a site survey for the installers to plan the work. This should include a routing plan for the cables from the TV aerial or satellite dish and the best entry point for the cabling into your house. The survey is very important if you have more than one room that needs to be supplied with a TV system. A definitive quote for the complete installation project will be provided after the on-site survey has been completed.
