TV Aerial Installation Stranraer

It may be a situation that your new home did not have a satellite dish or antenna installed by the building company. Most homeowners in Stranraer are uncomfortable at the very thought of working at the heights that are involved in replacing and installing a new TV aerial. Bringing in the expert services of an established aerial installer would be recommended in this situation.

But just what TV systems are on the market?

FREEVIEW - When Britain converted from analogue to digital television broadcasting in 2005, TV's had to be digital ready to receive any programming. To receive the digital programmes a digital decoder, or set top box was necessary for television sets that were not digital compliant.

It is still necessary to have a TV antenna linked to your digital TV or set top box in order to receive the TV broadcasts. Having the appropriate antenna for your region is hugely important to be certain of getting a strong enough signal from the nearest transmitter.

Freeview includes all of the United Kingdom's leading channels as well as regional channels for the Stranraer region. It is likely, dependant on your signal strength and specific location, to watch as many as 90 channels; over 70 SD (Standard Definition) and up to 15 HD (High Definition) with Freeview. It is also possible to play more than 30 digital radio stations broadcast from around Great Britain.

FREESAT - Uses a satellite dish to receive television and radio broadcasts so a traditional antenna is not needed. Some high-tech TVs come complete with an in-built DVB-s decoder, but in most cases you will need a digital decoder connected to your satellite dish to pick up programmes.

The dimensions of the dish and the capabilities of its LNB (Low Noise Block) are of vital importance to receive satellite programmes. A bigger dish when properly matched with a LNB can collect weaker signals, giving you more chance of picking up channels from different broadcasting satellites.

A basic Freesat box and dish in Stranraer should be able to receive more than 20 HD channels, over 200 channels in SD and more or less 40 radio stations.

It is entirely possible to enjoy free TV channels from BT, SKY and VIRGIN MEDIA with a similar volume of channels to Freeview or Freesat without being required to register for their premium packages. A dedicated decoder and suitable satellite dish or TV antenna is all that is usually required.

These subscription services can be selected to suit your family or business requirements and prices vary according to the level of subscription. With more than four hundred channels covering live shows, major sporting events and movies and even exclusive TV shows and box sets, there's something for everybody to enjoy.

Many commercial companies additionally offer you content streaming through your affiliated or independent broadband connection.

You won't ever need to miss out on another TV programme or box set with the options on many decoder equipment to record directly onto an in-built hard disk drive, or to some form of external memory.

So as to get the best possible signal a television antenna needs to have a clear path to the broadcasting antenna. This generally means fixing it high up on the roof of your home and possibly even attached to a tall pole to lift it above trees, neighbouring properties and other obstacles.

It is generally suggested that any aerial installation in Stranraer is undertaken by a qualified and experienced aerial installer. The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) offers training and certification to aerial installation companies and technicians, and offers customers a good level of trust in their local installation crew.

A satellite dish is just another method for receiving broadcast TV signals and as such will still require as clear a line of sight as possible to the transmitting satellite circling above. Any impediment from trees, buildings and other obstacles could cause loss of signal, interference and interruption to broadcast programmes.

Throughout the installation process the fitting team will use specialist devices to optimise signal strength by accurate alignment and placement of the dish. By fine tuning the alignment of your satellite dish to obtain the maximum strength of signal, the dish will then be securely fitted to prevent any possibility of movement as a result of wind or other factors.

An on-site survey will be done before any sort of installation process to enable the aerial technicians to prepare a plan of action. This will lay out the details of any points of entry for the cables and the route the cable will have to travel from the television antenna/dish to the destination on the inside of property. If you have multi-room TV needs the survey is critical to give you the best possible reception for each room. As soon as the on-site survey has been finished the installation team should be able to offer you an exact quotation for the job.

Picking a local aerial installers in the Stranraer area will mean that they will have the experience and familiarity with any signal strength problems and other issues associated with your area. Their local knowledge of any signal problems in Stranraer means they are able to provide the correct equipment to obtain maximum signal reception.

The installation itself will have the aerial installer fitting the TV aerial or satellite dish to your home and evaluating the strength of the signal. There may be some fine adjustments necessary throughout this procedure to ensure the best readings. The aerial cable will then be run and anchored along its planned course, in through the entry point for the cables and terminated at the required destination in the property.

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

Consumers in Stranraer can be assured knowing that by picking an aerial installer who's trained and certified by a professional body within the aerial industry. The CAI, as alluded to earlier, makes sure its members maintain and observe industry standards by providing City and Guilds training and professional certification.

An evaluation process is carried out on all aerial installers who've joined the CAI. This makes sure that those tradesmen with the best standards, skills and trustworthiness in aerial installation can be recognised by consumers. It's also a stipulation of membership that all work carried out must be given a minimum of twelve months guarantee.

The Government endorsed Trustmark website is also a way to find trustworthy aerial and dish installers in the Stranraer area. When you see the TrustMark logo for the home entertainment industry and signal reception it means that the installation company must already be an accredited member of the Confederation of Aerial Industries, for without this the TrustMark logo can't be legitimately displayed. The TrustMark scheme highlights companies with a verified track record, and thus inspires consumer confidence in their professionalism and ability in the aerial installation marketplace.

High Gain Aerials Stranraer

If your home is in an area that experiences an inferior strength of TV signal, the aerial you would generally go with is a High Gain TV antenna. Most of the time, even when the signal is poor, a High Gain television antenna will be able to get a few free-to-air digital channels. These types of TV antennas must be fitted high up on brackets and poles to lift them clear of any potential obstructions. So you don't pick up unwanted interference and a weakened signal, High Gain television antennas shouldn't be used in areas with a decent signal.

TV Aerial Booster Stranraer

If you live in an area with poor TV signal, trying to enjoy your favourite soaps and TV programmes can be an aggravating experience. You'll find that pixelated images, freezing and intermittent audio can all be caused by a poor quality signal to your receiver or digital TV. It's simple to amplify the signal you receive through the use of a television aerial booster.

You should have a TV signal booster installed as close to your television antenna as is possible. The reason for this is that you should boost the signal close to its source, therefore avoiding additional losses via the cables.

A site survey from a reputable Stranraer aerial installation specialist will check out your existing aerial and assess the signal level received, so as to install the optimal booster for your situation. If you live in an apartment block in Stranraer or a development with a shared TV aerial, it might be required to have an internal booster. In such cases a powered signal booster is installed between the wall socket and the TV to strengthen the signal.

This is no doubt the case with your television aerial or system, and a lot of upset and disruption can be caused when a fault occurs. In many instances it is something straightforward such as having the wrong input source selected on your television, but such things as storm or wind damage, a poorly positioned aerial, re-tuning issues, a faulty wall plate or socket or a disconnected aerial cable, could all be explanations why your aerial has stopped working or your television signal is not getting through. To find the fault and speedily repair the problem, your local Stranraer TV aerial installer will undertake a complete diagnosis or your digital or analogue TV set-up.
