TV Aerial Installation Southport

It might be that you have recently bought a new home where no aerial has been fitted or that it has been removed by the sellers. Most homeowners in Southport are uncomfortable at the very thought of working at the heights involved in installing or replacing a television aerial. This is the time when you are going to need the services of a professional and trustworthy satellite dish and aerial installer.

There are lots of TV systems and bundles on offer, but which one meets your needs?

FREEVIEW - When the UK changed from to digital broadcasting from analogue in 2005, TVs were required to be digital compliant to receive any programmes. To receive the digital channels a digital decoder unit, or set top box was needed for televisions that were not digital ready.

Even with a suitable digital television or a set top box, you still need a decent TV aerial to pick up the broadcast channels. The appropriate aerial for your region is hugely important to be sure of getting a sufficiently strong signal from the nearest transmitter.

With Freeview you'll get Southport regional programming combined with the leading national TV channels. Dependent on your signal strength and exact location, there are up to fifteen HD (High Definition) and over seventy SD (Standard Definition) channels offered. Freeview also provides in excess of 30 digital radio stations, both national and regional for you to tune in to via your TV.

FREESAT - Very much like Freeview, but instead of a digital aerial being used to receive signals from a ground based transmitter, it uses a satellite dish. If your TV set has a "DVB-S" connection, you may not require a separate digital satellite decoder to receive radio and television programmes.

To pick up the maximum amount of channels you need good signal strength and quality levels, which are ameliorated by a correctly sized satellite dish and associated LNB (Low Noise Block). A larger dish when appropriately synchronised with a LNB can gather in weaker signals, giving you a better likelihood of receiving channels from different countries and TV stations.

In Southport, it is possible, even using the cheapest and most basic Freesat dish and box to pick up roughly three hundred channels, (20+ HD, 200+ SD, 40+ Digital Radio).

Commercial and subscription based digital services, like BT, VIRGIN and SKY, all feature a free service similar to Freeview or Freesat where a subscription or viewing card is not required. You will require a dedicated digital decoder box from the TV company and an appropriate TV antenna or satellite dish to enjoy their channels.

The subscription services that are offered by these broadcasters can be adapted to fit your business or family requirements, and the rates fluctuate accordingly. You're able to watch anything from live sports events and new movie releases, to exclusive TV shows and box sets and pretty much everything else you would need to keep everyone entertained, from a selection of over four hundred channels.

You will even be able to connect into different digital services using your broadband connection for an even greater choice of programming and special features.

No matter what service you plump for, Freesat, Freeview or commercial, there are options available to record straight to your digital decoder box, or to an external hard drive, to watch when it suits you.

A clear line of vision is necessary from the main broadcasting antenna to your television aerial in order for you to receive the best signal. To achieve this may require the antenna to be affixed to the highest point of your home and possibly even fixed atop a taller pole to elevate it above any nearby obstacles.

A professional aerial installation contractor is the recommended person to hire to complete any work that's required. If an aerial installer is approved by the Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI), you'll know that they're qualified to industry standards and specifications.

A satellite dish is just another method for receiving broadcast TV signals and as such will still require a clear line of vision to the transmitting station. Any impediment from buildings, trees and other structures can cause interference, a weakened signal and disruption to programmes.

In the course of the installation the fitting team will use specialist equipment to maximise signal strength by accurate placement of your satellite dish. Because the alignment of the dish is vital to the optimum system performance, the dish is then firmly mounted in place in order to avoid any possibility of movement.

Any installation process, satellite dish or TV aerial will require an on-site survey so that the installers can plan the job. The on-site survey will include points of entry into the property for the cable, safe cable routing and secure fixing points for the dish or television aerial. This is especially critical for TV systems where multiple rooms are that use the same satellite dish or television antenna. A definitive price quote for the complete project should be given to you at the end of this survey.

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

The signal strength will be tested when the aerial is placed in position. To obtain the best reception there'll be some fine adjustments to the alignment of the dish or aerial. The aerial cabling will then be run and mounted along its pre-determined route, in through the entry point and terminated at the final destination within your property.

Testing and initial setup of your digital decoder unit or television is then carried out to finalise the installation process. At this juncture all of the TV and radio channels will be tuned-in and stored on your system.

To keep clear of shoddy working standards and to give consumers in Southport peace of mind, there are several professional bodies and associations who provide training and accreditation to selected aerial installation companies. As already mentioned, the CAI offers City and Guilds training and offer certification to its members and ensures aerial industry standards are met.

Any CAI member will have been vetted and checked before being allowed to join. Consumers can have the confidence that any tradesman using the CAI logo have the highest possible standards within the industry and are fully qualified for any aerial installation task. The CAI also demands that all of its members fully guarantee any aerial installation work for for a term of at least 12 months from the date of project completion.

TrustMark, the Government authorised service, is another way of tracking down the finest TV aerial and satellite installers in Southport, or anyplace else in the UK. Only members of the CAI are able to gain this extra approval and accreditation for signal reception and the home entertainment industry from TrustMark. The service offers an additional layer of trust for clients and the knowledge they are using competent, safe and professional installers.

TV Aerial Booster

If you happen to live in an area with weak TV signal, trying to watch your favourite soaps and television programmes can be an infuriating experience. A poor signal can cause blocky pictures, ghosting and intermittent sound. It is easy to amplify the signal you receive through the use of a television aerial booster.

You ought to have a TV signal booster installed as close to your TV antenna as is feasible. This is because you need to magnify the signal close to the source and ensures that no further losses are brought about from cable runs to your TV.

Before a local aerial fitter in Southport installs a signal booster they'll firstly check your signal levels and your antenna for any problems. It might be determined that an indoor booster is okay due to personal circumstances, e.g. a shared antenna in an apartment building in Southport. In this situation a powered signal booster can be placed between the power socket and the television to strengthen the signal.
