TV Aerial Installation Bidford-on-Avon Warwickshire (B50): Missing channels or lousy reception on your TV set could be an indication that it's high time you upgraded your aerial or satellite dish. Unfortunately not all areas of Bidford-on-Avon offer the same strength of signal in relation to TV broadcasts and a signal booster or new TV antenna may be all that's necessary to get you enjoying your favourite box sets once again.
It could be that you have recently purchased a new home where no tv aerial has been installed or that it has been taken down by the sellers. Not everyone in Bidford-on-Avon is willing to work at the heights involved in a do-it-yourself aerial installation. Bringing in the expert services of a competent aerial installer would be a good idea at this point.
But exactly what TV systems are out there?
Freeview, Freesat or Commercial
FREEVIEW TV - When Britain switched from analogue to digital television broadcasting in 2005, televisions needed to be digital compliant to receive programmes. If your television wasn't digital compliant it required a set top decoder box in order to receive the channels.
Even when you have a set top box or suitable digital television, you still need an aerial to pick up the broadcast channels. The sort of aerial or TV antenna that you have hooked up is extremely important in weak or poor signal areas.
Freeview offers all of Great Britain's principal channels together with regional channels for the Bidford-on-Avon region. It is possible, depending on your signal strength and location, to watch as many as 90 channels; 70 + SD and up to 15 HD channels with Freeview. It's also possible to play over 30 digital radio stations from around the UK.
FREESAT - Uses a satellite dish to pick up TV and radio broadcasts so a regular TV aerial isn't needed. Certain cutting-edge televisions come complete with an in built decoder (DVB-S), however more often than not you will require a digital satellite decoder linked with your satellite dish to receive broadcasts.
To receive the maximum amount of channels you need good quality levels and signal strength, which are boosted by an appropriately sized dish and associated LNB (Low Noise Block). A bigger satellite dish when properly matched with a Low Noise Block can collect weaker signals, giving you a better chance of receiving channels from different broadcasting satellites.
In Bidford-on-Avon you should be able to tune into nearly 300 digital channels (20+ HD, 200+ SD and 40+ digital radio stations) using a standard set up of a Freesat dish and box.
Commercial Packages
It is entirely possible to watch the free services of VIRGIN MEDIA, BT and SKY with a similar number of channels to Freesat or Freeview without having to pay for their premium content. You will need a dedicated decoder from the TV company and a suitable satellite dish or TV aerial to enjoy their free channels.
Charges vary across the range of packages and can be altered to meet the needs of your family. From sports events, live shows and movies, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can pick from more than four hundred channels and watch movies and box sets all day long.
Most commercial broadcasters additionally offer content streaming via your broadband internet connection.
Whatever service you choose, commercial, Freeview or Freesat, there are ways to record content directly to your digital decoder, or onto an external hard drive, to watch programmes at your leisure.
TV Aerial Installation Bidford-on-Avon
To get the best quality images and reception, a television antenna must have a clear line of vision to the broadcasting antenna. This normally means fixing it high up on your home's roof and possibly even attaching it to a tall pole to lift it above trees, neighbouring properties and other obstructions.
An experienced and qualified aerial installer is the recommended person to hire to undertake any installation work that's required. To put your mind at rest look out for the letters CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) when you're picking an aerial installation company and be safe in the knowledge that they've undergone training to undertake any aerial installation work required.
Satellite Installation Bidford-on-Avon
Although a satellite dish receives signals from a satellite orbiting above, it still needs as few obstacles as possible to receive an excellent TV signal. Buildings, trees and other obstacles can affect the signal and contribute to unwanted interference.

A top notch satellite installer in Bidford-on-Avon will make certain you get the best signal strength possible and securely fix your dish to your home so that it cannot move.
What Does Aerial Installation Entail?

This should include a cable routing plan from the satellite dish or television aerial and the best entry point for the cabling into your home. If you've got multi-room TV requirements the on-site survey is very important to provide you with the best possible reception for each and every room. After this initial survey you will be given an accurate quote from the aerial installation company.
