TV Aerial Installation Penicuik

Alternatively, you might have a brand new home which doesn't currently have a satellite dish or antenna installed. The majority of people in Penicuik are uneasy at the very idea of working at the heights involved in installing or replacing a television aerial. This is when you need the expert services of a reliable satellite dish and aerial installer.

But what sort of television system do you favour?

FREEVIEW TV - Since Great Britain changed to digital television broadcasting in 2005, all TV sets that were sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and incorporate an inbuilt digital decoder. For older TV's a separate decoder was needed.

It matters not if you've got a set top box or a digital television; you still need a suitable TV aerial to receive the television broadcast. In weak or low signal regions it is vitally important to have the correct TV antenna or aerial fitted.

Freeview, via a suitable TV aerial, offers national programmes and Penicuik regional programming. Dependent on your location and signal strength, there are over 70 SD and up to 15 HD channels available. Freeview also offers at least 30 digital radio stations, regional and national for you to enjoy through your TV.

FREESAT - Freesat uses a satellite dish to pick up radio and television programmes so a conventional antenna isn't required. If your television has a "DVB-S" connection, you may not require a separate digital decoder to receive radio and TV broadcasts.

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

In Penicuik, it is possible, even using the most basic and cheapest Freesat dish and box to receive roughly 300 channels of programming to enjoy, (200+ SD, 20+ HD, and 40+ digital radio stations).

Subscription and commercial based TV services, like SKY, VIRGIN MEDIA and BT, all include a free service comparable to Freesat or Freeview where a subscription or viewing card isn't required. All you'll need is a satellite dish or antenna and an appropriate decoder box.

Their premium subscription services can be selected to match your business or family needs and the rates fluctuate according to the level of subscription. You are able to watch anything from live sports and new releases, to exclusive box sets and TV shows and pretty much everything else you would need to keep your family entertained, from a choice of more than four hundred satellite channels.

It's also possible to access different digital services through your broadband connection for even more variety of special features and programmes.

Whichever service you choose, commercial, Freeview or Freesat, there are ways to record programmes directly onto your decoder, or onto an external drive, to watch at your leisure.

So as to receive the best signal a TV antenna must have a clear line of vision to the nearest broadcasting station. If your property's roof is not high enough to allow the aerial to clear neighbouring trees, obstacles and properties, it might have to be fixed on a pole to make certain it's situated high enough.

It is recommended that any aerial installation in Penicuik is carried out by a professional aerial installer. The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) offers training and certification to installation technicians and companies, and gives clients a good level of trust in their installation crew.

While a satellite dish receives signals from an orbiting satellite, it still needs as few obstructions as possible to receive a good TV signal. Any obstruction from trees, buildings and other obstacles could cause loss of signal, interference and disruption to television programmes.

The installation of a satellite dish involves perfect alignment and placement, therefore the aerial technician will conduct tests with specialist equipment to ensure this is done correctly. A satellite dish installation specialist in Penicuik will make sure you get the best signal strength possible and correctly affix the dish to your property so that it doesn't move or "creep".

Any kind of installation process, satellite dish or television aerial will need an on-site survey so that the installers can plan the task. This will set out the specifics of any cable entry points and the path the cable will need to travel from the dish or TV aerial to the destination inside your property. This is especially critical for multi-room TV systems using the same aerial or satellite dish. An accurate quote for the whole project will be presented to you after the preliminary survey has been done.

Your local aerial installers in Penicuik will have familiarity with the issues and signal strengths associated with your area. Using this local knowledge they'll have the equipment that ensures optimum reception and signal strength.

The actual installation process will see the TV aerial affixed to your home and signal analyzed. There may perhaps be some fine adjustments made throughout this procedure to ensure the best readings. The aerial cable will then be laid and anchored along its pre-determined route, in through the entry point for the cables and terminated at the required destination within the property.

The final installation stage will be the connection to your digital decoder box or television set and the setting up and testing of the entire system. This will involve the fine-tuning and storing of all the TV and radio channels that can be picked up on your chosen platform.

To steer clear of poor working standards and to give clients in Penicuik peace of mind when installing an aerial, there are various professional associations and bodies who provide accreditation and training to selected aerial installers. Professional certifications in the industry from trade bodies such as the CAI makes certain stringent standards are sustained.

All CAI members are assessed and vetted before they are permitted to join. This provides customers with confidence in the expertise and dependability of the installation team to complete the project to the highest standards possible. A minimum of 12 months guarantee also has to be given for aerial installation work completed by Confederation of Aerial Industries members.

Another way of finding respected TV aerial and dish installers in Penicuik is to make use of the Government approved, TrustMark scheme. To gain the TrustMark approval for signal reception and the home entertainment industry, the installation company must already be an accredited member of the Confederation of Aerial Industries. The extra layer of client confidence that this scheme affords to a company showcases their professional, safe and competent handling of any an aerial or satellite dish installation project.
