TV Aerial Installation Leigh-on-Sea

It could be a situation that your new home didn't have a satellite dish or TV aerial fitted by the builders. Not everyone in Leigh-on-Sea is willing to work at the heights associated with a do-it-yourself aerial installation. It is now that you need an experienced installation company to conduct a survey and install a satellite dish or aerial on your house.

But what sort of TV system do you favour?

FREEVIEW - When Britain changed from to digital broadcasting from analogue in 2005, television sets needed to be digital compliant to receive any programmes. To receive the digital programs a digital decoding device, or set top box was essential for TVs that weren't digital compliant.

Even when you have a set top box or suitable digital television, you still need a decent aerial to receive the channels being broadcast. The sort of antenna or aerial you've got hooked up is very important in low signal areas.

Freeview provides all of the UK's main channels coupled with regional channels for the Leigh-on-Sea area. It is likely, depending on your exact location and signal strength, to watch up to 90 TV channels; over seventy Standard Definition (SD) and up to fifteen High Definition (HD) with Freeview. It's also possible to tune in to over 30 digital radio stations from all around Great Britain.

FREESAT - Much like Freeview, but as opposed to a digital aerial being used to receive signals from a ground based transmitter, it uses a satellite dish. Some cutting-edge TV's come complete with an in-built DVB-s decoder, however more often than not you will require a satellite decoder linked to the satellite dish to watch the programming.

To receive the most channels you need good quality levels and satellite signal strength, which are improved by a correct size of satellite dish and associated LNB (Low Noise Block). It's possible to pick up more free channels from different broadcasters and countries by putting in a bigger dish and an LNB with a higher gain to pick up weaker signals.

In Leigh-on-Sea, it is possible, even using the cheapest and most basic Freesat dish and box to receive approximately 300 channels of programming to enjoy, (20+ HD, 200+ SD, and 40+ Digital Radio).

The premium satellite TV companies like SKY, VIRGIN and BT also offer a free service comparable to Freeview or Freesat, where getting tied into a subscription isn't normally required. All that's required is a satellite dish or antenna and a decent digital decoder box.

Their premium subscription services can be selected to fit your business or family needs and prices fluctuate in line with the level of subscription. From new movie releases, sports events and live concerts, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can choose from over 400 channels and watch TV box sets and movies all day long if you wish.

Some commercial broadcasters additionally feature content streaming using your affiliated or independent broadband internet connection.

If you want to record programmes to watch at your leisure, it is possible to use either the built-in hard drive of some decoders, or connect an external hard drive, like a USB flash drive, to store your favourite movie or box set until you want to watch it.

A clear line of vision is needed from the nearest broadcasting antenna to your TV aerial so as to get the best quality signal. This usually means fitting it high up on the roof of your home and perhaps even attached to a long pole to elevate it above neighbouring properties, trees or other obstacles.

A professional aerial installation company will be qualified and be able to install or repair your new TV antenna safely and efficiently. The Confederation of Aerial Industries offers training and accreditation to aerial installation technicians and companies, and offers clients a good level of trust in their installation team.

A satellite dish is just another method for receiving broadcast signals and thus will require a clear line of vision to the transmitting satellite circling above. Trees, buildings and other structures can affect the signal and trigger annoying interference.

Specialist equipment is needed on installation to ensure the dish is pointing in the right direction, as even a couple of centimetres of error can make a massive difference to your signal received. Since the alignment of your dish is critical for the optimum system performance, the dish is then securely mounted in position to avoid any it moving in the wind.

Any kind of installation process, satellite dish or television antenna will involve a site survey so the installers can plan the work. This should set out the details of any points of entry for the cables and the route the cable will need to travel from the aerial/dish to the destination point on the inside of property. This is especially crucial for multi-room systems that use the same satellite dish or antenna. After the preliminary survey you will be provided with an accurate estimate from the installation company.

The experience and knowledge of any signal issues and problems in the Leigh-on-Sea area, that a local aerial installation team has, will be priceless. Using this local knowledge they'll have the equipment that ensures optimum signal strength and reception.

The actual installation sees the antenna fixed to the home and signal certified. The dish or aerial will then go through some small, final tuning adjustments to gain the maximum signal on the test equipment. The cable entry points will then be drilled and weatherproofed, and the cable threaded through and securely mounted along its route to the satellite dish or aerial.

Testing and initial setup of your TV or decoder is then completed to finish the installation process. This will involve the tuning-in and storing of all the television channels available on your chosen platform.

To keep clear of poor workmanship and to give consumers in Leigh-on-Sea peace of mind, there are various trade bodies and associations who supply accreditation and training to selected aerial technicians and installation companies. The CAI, as mentioned earlier, ensures its members maintain and adhere to industry standards by providing City and Guilds training and professional accreditation.

Consumers can have the confidence that any tradesman displaying the CAI logo have the highest standards within the sector and are fully qualified to do any aerial installation work. It's also a stipulation of membership that all work carried out should be guaranteed for a minimum of twelve months.
