TV Aerial Installation Chard

It might be the case that your brand new home did not have a satellite dish or antenna installed by the builders. A lot of homeowners in Chard are uncomfortable at the thought of working at the sort of heights that are involved in installing or replacing a new TV aerial. It's at this moment that you need a reliable installation specialist to inspect and install a satellite dish or aerial on your home.

But what television systems are on the market?

FREEVIEW - Since Great Britain switched to digital television broadcasting in 2005, all television sets that were sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and include an inbuilt digital decoder. To receive the digital channels a digital decoding device, or set top box was necessary for televisions that were not digital compliant.

It is still required to have a TV aerial linked to your digital TV or set top box in order to receive the TV broadcasts. In areas with a weak or poor signal it is imperative to have the best possible aerial fitted.

Freeview, through an appropriate TV aerial, features national channels and Chard regional programming. It is quite possible, depending on your signal strength and location, to receive up to 90 channels; up to fifteen High Definition (HD) and over seventy Standard Definition (SD) channels with Freeview. It can in addition receive at least 30 digital radio stations that you can enjoy through your TV.

FREESAT - Very much like Freeview, but as opposed to a digital aerial being employed to receive signals from a ground based transmitter, it relies on a satellite dish. A satellite decoder is essential to pick up broadcasts, which some high-tech TVs will already have built in, (watch out for DVB-S on the specs of the television set).

To pick up the most channels you need good quality levels and signal strength, which are ameliorated by a correct size of dish and associated Low Noise Block (LNB - the attachment on the dish's arm. Larger satellite dishes are better at receiving weaker signals from various satellites, meaning you'll be able to view far more channels from different countries broadcasters.

In Chard you can pick up nearly 300 channels (20+ HD, 200+ SD and 40+ Radio) using a standard installation of a Freesat box and dish.

Commercial and subscription based digital services, like SKY, VIRGIN MEDIA and BT, all provide a free service similar to Freeview or Freesat where a viewing card or subscription isn't needed. A dedicated digital decoder and suitable satellite dish or antenna is all which is generally necessary.

Their subscription services can be selected to match your family or business requirements and the charges vary according to the chosen package. From live concerts, live sporting events and new movies, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can select from over four hundred channels and watch TV box sets and movies all day long.

Most commercial companies also offer streaming content through your broadband facility.

If you want to record content to watch at your leisure, you can use either the built-in hard drive of some decoder systems, or plug in an external drive, such as a USB flash drive, to save and store your favourite programme until you've got the time to watch it.

A clear line of sight is necessary from the nearest broadcasting antenna to your television aerial in order for you to receive the best possible signal. This generally means fixing it high up on the roof of your house and maybe even attaching it to a long pole to lift it above neighbouring properties, trees or other obstructions.

An experienced aerial installation contractor is the recommended tradesperson to bring in to perform any aerial installation work that is needed. If an aerial installer is approved by the Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI), you'll know that they are trained and qualified to industry standards and expectations.

Despite the fact that a satellite dish gets signals from an orbiting satellite, it still needs there to be no obstacles to receive an excellent signal. A poorly located satellite dish can receive a weak signal by being to some extent obstructed by buildings, trees and other structures that hinder the reception.

The installation of a satellite dish calls for perfect placement and alignment, so the technician will perform tests with specialised equipment to make certain this is done correctly. By meticulously aligning the dish to obtain the maximum strength of signal, the dish will then be firmly mounted to avoid any kind of movement because of the effects of the wind.

An on-site survey will be carried out before any sort of installation to enable the aerial fitters to finalise a plan of action. The survey will identify entry points to the property for the cables, safe cable routing and reliable attachment points for the satellite dish or antenna. The survey is critical if you require more than room to be provided with a TV. A definitive quotation for the entire project should be presented to you at the conclusion of this initial survey.

The experience and knowledge of any signal issues and problems in the Chard area, that a local aerial fitter has, will be vital. Consequently they are able to offer the necessary equipment to get the best reception possible.

The actual installation process sees the aerial attached to the home and strength of the signal verified. The aerial or dish will then go through some small, final adjustments to obtain the optimum signal quality on the test equipment. The cable entry points can then be drilled and sealed to keep water out, and the cable passed through and securely mounted along its path to the aerial or dish.

The final stage of the installation is going to be the connection to your digital decoder box or television set and the setting up and testing of the whole system. At this juncture all of the TV and radio channels will be tuned-in and saved to your apparatus.

When picking an aerial installer in Chard there are a number of industry selected professional organisations that provide accredited, who can give consumers confidence. Professional qualifications in the aerial industry from trade organisations like the CAI ensures that rigorous standards are sustained.

Any CAI member will have been appraised and vetted before being permitted to join. This provides clients with confidence in the expertise and trustworthiness of the fitters to complete the job to the highest standards possible. The CAI also stipulates that all of its members fully guarantee any aerial installation work for a period of at least 1 year from the date of the project's completion.

The Government approved Trustmark scheme is another means by which to track down trusted satellite dish and TV antenna installers in the Chard area. Only members of the Confederation of Aerial Industries are able to get this extra approval and accreditation for signal reception and the home entertainment industry from TrustMark. The scheme provides an additional level of trust for consumers and gives them the knowledge they're using competent, professional and safe installers.
