TV Aerial Installation Ampthill

It might be a situation that your new home did not have an aerial or satellite dish installed by the builders. Working up high will often be required when it comes to putting in this sort of equipment, and I'm sure that not everybody in Ampthill will feel comfortable taking on a DIY task such as this. It is at this point that you need a professional and reputable installation specialist to inspect and install an aerial or satellite dish on your property.

But what sort of television system are you wanting?

FREEVIEW - When the British Isles changed from analogue to digital television broadcasting in 2005, televisions needed to be digital compliant to receive programming. For older TVs an independent decoder box was needed.

It does not matter if you have a digital television or a set top box; you still need to have an appropriate TV aerial to receive the broadcast. The type of aerial or TV antenna you have hooked up is especially important areas with a weak signal.

Freeview, via an appropriate aerial, offers national programmes together with Ampthill regional programming. Subject to your signal strength and location, there are up to 15 HD and over 70 SD channels offered. Freeview also provides over 30 digital radio stations, both national and regional for you to tune in to through your TV.

FREESAT - Akin to Freeview, but as opposed to a digital aerial being employed to pick up signals from a ground based transmitter, it uses a satellite dish. Certain high-tech television sets come complete with an in built decoder (DVB-S), however in most cases you'll require a satellite decoder linked with the satellite dish to pick up any broadcasts.

Satellite signal strength and quality are of vital importance and this is relative to the size of the satellite dish and performance of the Low Noise Block (LNB - the small attachment on the dish's arm . With a larger dish it is better at picking up weaker signals from a number of different satellites, which means you'll be able to get far more channels from different countries TV stations.

A standard Freesat dish and box installation in Ampthill is able to receive more than 20 HD channels, over 200 channels in SD and almost forty digital radio stations.

The major satellite TV providers such as BT, VIRGIN MEDIA and SKY also provide a free service comparable to Freesat or Freeview, where getting tied into a subscription is not a necessity. All that is required is an antenna or satellite dish and a decent decoder box.

The subscription packages which are offered by these providers can be adapted to suit your family or business needs, and the rates fluctuate as a result. From new movie releases, concerts and sports events, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can choose from the over four hundred channels and watch movies and box sets all day long.

You can also access additional digital services through your broadband connection for even more variety of special features and programmes.

You won't ever need to miss out on another TV programme or movie with the options on many digital decoders to record straight to an in-built hard drive, or to an external USB memory stick.

A clear path is necessary from the broadcasting station to your television aerial so as to get the best quality signal. If the roof of your property isn't high enough to permit the aerial to clear nearby obstacles, trees and properties, it may have to be attached to a tall pole to make sure it's situated high enough.

A qualified and experienced aerial installation contractor is recommended to perform any aerial installation work that is required. For peace of mind look out for the letters CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) when you're choosing an aerial installer and be confident in the knowledge they trained to undertake any work that you need.

A satellite dish is just another way to receive broadcast TV channels and thus will require a clear line of sight to the transmitting satellite. Any impediment from buildings, trees and other obstacles may cause loss of signal, interference and disruption to television programmes.

Technical equipment is needed on installation to ensure the satellite dish is pointing accurately, as even an error of a couple of centimetres can make an enormous difference to the quality of the received signal. Since the alignment of the satellite dish is vital for the best performance of the system, the dish is then firmly fastened in position to stop any it moving in the wind.

Before any work can be started an on-site survey will be undertaken so that the aerial installation crew have a clear and concise action plan. This should lay out the specifics of any points of entry for the cables and the route the cabling will have to travel from the dish or TV aerial to the final destination on the inside of property. This is especially vital for multi-room use of TV systems that use the same television aerial or satellite dish. At the end of this initial survey you should be provided with a precise quote from the aerial installation team.

The actual installation sees the aerial fixed to the home and signal checked. The dish or aerial will then go through some final, small tuning adjustments to gain the optimum signal on the TV reception meter. The aerial cable will then be laid and secured along its pre-determined course, in through the entry point and ended at the required position within the house.

Finally a connection is made to your TV or digital decoder and the setting up and installation of the entire system is made. At this stage all the TV and radio channels will be tuned into and saved to your equipment.
