TV Aerial Installation Sevenoaks

It may be the case that your brand new home did not have a satellite dish or antenna installed by the construction company. Not everybody in Sevenoaks is willing to work at the heights involved in a DIY installation of an aerial. It is now that you need a professional and trustworthy installation company to inspect and install an aerial on your property.

But exactly what TV systems are on the market?

FREEVIEW - Since the UK changed to digital broadcasting in 2005, all TV's that were sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and include a built-in digital decoder. For older TV sets an independent decoder box was needed.

It is still required to have a TV aerial connected to your set top box or digital TV to receive the TV broadcasts. The sort of TV antenna or aerial you have installed is very important in low signal areas.

With Freeview you'll get regional programmes for the Sevenoaks area as well as the major national channels. It is likely, depending on your signal strength and specific location, to watch as many as 90 channels; over 70 SD and up to 15 HD with Freeview. Freeview can additionally receive at least thirty digital radio stations.

FREESAT - Contrary to Freeview, which receives signals through an aerial, Freesat requires a satellite dish to pick up television and radio broadcasts. A digital satellite decoder is necessary to receive programmes, which certain high-tech television sets will have built in, (watch out for "DVB-S" on the specs of the TV).

The strength of the satellite signal and quality are crucial and this is determined by the size of the dish and functionality of the Low Noise Block (LNB - the small attachment on the dish's arm . A larger satellite dish when appropriately matched with a Low Noise Block can successfully latch onto weaker signals, to give you more chance of receiving channels from different countries and broadcasters.

A standard Freesat dish and box in Sevenoaks should be capable of receiving more than 20 HD channels, over 200 SD channels and roughly 40 digital radio stations.

Commercial and subscription based TV services, like SKY, VIRGIN and BT, all provide a free service akin to Freesat or Freeview where a subscription or viewing card is not necessarily required. All you need is a satellite dish or antenna and a suitable decoder box.

Their premium services can be chosen to suit your business or family needs and rates fluctuate according to the level of subscription. You can watch everything from new movie releases and live sporting events, to exclusive TV shows and box sets and pretty much everything you'd need to keep your family entertained, from a choice of more than four hundred channels.

It is also easy to find and watch programmes by means of streaming services over your broadband connection.

Whatever service you decide on, commercial, Freeview or Freesat, there are ways to record content directly to your decoder unit, or onto an external drive, to watch programmes at your leisure.

So as to receive the best quality signal a television antenna must have a clear line of sight to the nearest broadcasting antenna. If your property's roof isn't high enough to enable the aerial to clear neighbouring properties, trees and obstacles, it may need to be fitted to a tall pole to ensure it is situated high enough.

A specialist aerial installation company will be able to fit your new TV aerial safely and swiftly. To put your mind at rest watch out for the letters CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) whenever you are reviewing an aerial installation firm and be safe in the knowledge they trained to carry out any installation work needed.

Though a satellite dish receives signals from an orbiting satellite, it still needs there to be no obstructions to receive a decent TV signal. Buildings, trees and other structures can weaken the signal and trigger annoying interference.

During the installation the fitting team will use specialist apparatus to optimise signal strength by careful placement and alignment of the satellite dish. As the alignment of the satellite dish is vital to the optimum performance of the system, the dish is then solidly fixed in position in order to avoid any movement or creep by wind or vibration.

Any kind of installment, TV aerial or satellite dish will require a site survey so that the installers can plan the job. This should set out the details of any cable entry points and the route the cable will need to travel from the dish or television antenna to the destination on the inside of property. The on-site survey is vitally important if you have more than one room that needs to be provided with the television signal. At the end of the preliminary survey you should be given an accurate price quote from the aerial installation team.

The experience and knowledge of any problems and signal issues in the Sevenoaks area, that a locally based aerial fitter has, will be vital. Their local understanding of any signal issues in Sevenoaks means they're able to supply the right equipment to obtain maximum signal reception.

The installation itself will see the aerial installer fixing the TV aerial or satellite dish to your house and testing the strength of the signal. To obtain the best coverage there'll be some fine adjustments to the alignment of the dish or aerial. The aerial cable can then be run and mounted along its pre-planned course, in through the cable entry point and ended at the required destination in the house.

Finally the connection is made to your digital decoder or TV set and the setting up and first time installation of the whole system is completed. This will involve the tuning-in and storing of all the TV and radio channels available on your chosen platform.

When picking out an aerial installer in Sevenoaks there are various industry selected professional associations who provide certified and trained, who can give consumers the confidence they deserve. As we have already alluded to, the CAI offers City and Guilds courses and offer accreditation to its registered members and ensures aerial industry standards are met.

This provides consumers with confidence in the skills and trustworthiness of the installers to complete the project to the highest possible standards.
