TV Aerial Installation Longton

It may be a situation that your new home did not have a TV antenna or satellite dish fitted by the building company. Not everybody in Longton is able to work at the heights associated with a DIY aerial installation. It is now that you need a professional and trustworthy installation company to conduct a survey and install an aerial on your home.

But precisely what television systems are out there?

FREEVIEW - In 2005 the British Isles changed from analogue to broadcasting digital television and all television sets sold from 2008 were required to be digital broadcast compliant. For older TV sets a separate decoder box was necessary.

It doesn't matter if you have a set top box or a digital television; you still need an appropriate aerial to pick up the broadcast. The type of aerial or antenna that you have hooked up is very important in low or weak signal areas.

Freeview, through a suitable TV aerial, features national programmes and Longton regional programming. Contingent on your signal strength and exact location, there are over 70 SD (Standard Definition) and up to 15 HD (High Definition) channels available. It's also possible to play over 30 digital radio stations from around Britain.

FREESAT - Unlike Freeview, which receives signals through a digital aerial, Freesat needs a satellite dish to pick up radio and TV broadcasts. If your TV happens to have a DVB-S connection, you may not require a separate satellite decoder to pick up radio and television channels.

The strength of the satellite signal and quality level are critical and this is associated with the diameter of the dish and effectiveness of the Low Noise Block (LNB - the attachment on the arm of the dish . Larger dishes are better at receiving weaker signals from different satellites, meaning you'll be able to watch more channels from many different countries.

A standard Freesat box and satellite dish in Longton should be capable of receiving more than 20 HD channels, over 200 channels in SD and approximately forty digital radio stations.

Subscription and commercial based services, like SKY, VIRGIN MEDIA and BT, all feature a free service similar to Freeview or Freesat where a viewing card or subscription is not needed. All you need is an aerial or satellite dish and a suitable decoder box.

Rates vary across the premium range of subscription packages and can be tweaked to satisfy your family's or business needs. From live sporting events, movies and live concerts, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can choose from the over 400 channels and watch TV box sets and movies all day long.

It is also simple to discover and watch content and programmes via streaming services over your broadband.

If you want to record content to view when it suits you, it is possible to use either a built in hard drive on some digital decoders, or connect an external hard drive, like a USB flash drive, to store and save your favourite soap or box set until you want to watch it.

A TV aerial must have a clear line of sight to the broadcasting station in order to gain the best signal. This normally means installing it as high up as possible on your home's roof and perhaps even attached to a tall pole to elevate it above neighbouring properties, trees or other obstacles.

It is generally recommended that any aerial installation in Longton is carried out by a qualified and experienced aerial installer. The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) offers training and certification to aerial installation technicians and companies, and gives clients a good level of trust in their chosen installation crew.

Although a satellite dish gets its signal from a satellite orbiting high above, it still needs there to be no obstructions to receive an excellent TV signal. Buildings, trees and other obstacles can significantly weaken the signal and trigger undesirable interference.

Specialised equipment is required for the installation process to make sure the dish is pointed accurately, since even an error of a few centimetres can make a tremendous difference to the quality of your signal received. Because the alignment of the satellite dish is crucial to the optimum system performance, the dish will then be solidly mounted in position to prevent any possibility of it moving.

Before any sort of work can be started a site survey will be carried out so that the aerial installment technicians have a clear plan of action. The survey will include entry points to the property for the cables, safe cable routing and reliable fixing points for the satellite dish or TV aerial. The survey is very important if you need more than one room to be provided with the television signal. At the end of this initial survey you will be provided with a definitive quote from the aerial installation team.

The knowledge and experience of any issues and signal problems in the Longton area, that a locally based aerial installation team has, will be crucial. Using this local knowledge they will supply equipment that ensures optimum signal strength and reception.

The signal strength will be evaluated when the aerial is fixed to your property. The dish or aerial will then be given some final, small tuning adjustments to obtain the optimum signal strength on the testing equipment. The aerial cable will then be laid and secured along its pre-determined route, in through the entry point for the cables and terminated at the final destination within the house.

Finally the connection is made to your decoder or television and the setup and installation of the system is made. At this point all of the TV and radio channels will be tuned into and saved to your equipment.

To stay away from shoddy workmanship and to give customers in Longton peace of mind when installing an aerial, there are some professional bodies who offer training and accreditation to selected aerial installation technicians. As already mentioned, the CAI offers Diploma Level courses and offer accreditation to its registered members and ensures industry standards are met.

A vetting procedure is carried out on all TV aerial installers who are members of the CAI. This provides customers with confidence in the skills and reliability of the installation crew to carry out the job to the highest standards. A minimum of 12 months guarantee also has to be given for work done by Confederation of Aerial Industries members.
