Not everybody in Surbiton is ready to work at the heights associated with a DIY installation of an aerial. This is the time when you need to locate a reputable and trustworthy aerial or satellite installation technician.

But what systems are available?

FREEVIEW TV - Since the United Kingdom changed to digital broadcasting in 2005, all TVs that were sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and include a built-in digital decoder. For older TV sets an independent decoder was needed.

Even when you have a suitable digital television or a set top box, you still need a TV aerial to pick up the broadcast channels. The sort of TV antenna or aerial you have hooked up is extremely important areas with a weak signal.

Freeview, via an appropriate TV aerial, offers national programmes together with Surbiton regional programming. It is possible, depending on your specific location and signal strength, to watch as many as 90 TV channels; up to fifteen High Definition (HD) and over seventy Standard Definition (SD) with Freeview. Freeview also provides at least thirty digital radio stations, both regional and national for you to enjoy via your television.

FREESAT - Very much like Freeview, but instead of signals being picked up from a ground based transmitter through the use of a digital aerial, it uses a satellite dish. If your television happens to have a DVB-S connection, you may not require an independent digital satellite decoder to receive radio and TV channels.

The strength of the satellite signal and quality are vitally important and this is determined by the dimensions of the dish and capabilities of the Low Noise Block (LNB - the attachment on the arm of the dish . You'll be able to pick up more free channels from different TV stations by installing a bigger satellite dish and higher gain LNB to tune into weaker TV signals.

In the Surbiton area you can tune into nearly 300 channels (200+ SD, 20+ HD and 40+ radio channels) using a basic installation of a Freesat dish and box.

Premium satellite companies such as VIRGIN, SKY and BT also feature a free service comparable to Freesat or Freeview, where signing up for a subscription isn't generally required. A dedicated digital decoder box and appropriate satellite dish or TV aerial is all that's generally needed.

Prices fluctuate across the premium range of subscription services and can be altered to fulfill the needs of your family. From movies, live concerts and live sports, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can select from over four hundred channels and watch box sets and movies 24 hours a day if you wish.

Many commercial providers additionally feature content streaming using your internet connection.

Whatever service you choose, Freesat, Freeview or commercial, there are solutions to record directly onto your digital decoder, or onto an external drive, to watch programmes at a time that suits you.

A clear line of vision is essential from the nearest broadcasting antenna to your television aerial in order for you to get the best quality signal. If the roof of your property is not elevated enough to enable the aerial to clear neighbouring properties, trees and obstacles, it might have to be attached to a pole to make certain it's situated high enough.

An experienced and qualified aerial installation contractor is the recommended tradesman to hire to carry out any installation work that is needed. For peace of mind watch out for the letters CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) whenever you're choosing an aerial installer and be confident in the knowledge they have trained and qualified to perform any aerial installation work that you need.

As with any type of aerial, a satellite dish needs to be sited where there is no obstacle in between itself and the signal transmitter; in this case the satellite in orbit high above the earth. Trees, buildings and other obstacles can weaken the signal and lead to unwanted interference.

Throughout the installation process the fitting team will use technical devices to maximise signal strength by careful alignment of your satellite dish. A satellite dish installation expert in Surbiton will make certain that you get the best signal strength possible and will firmly fix the dish to your house so that it doesn't move or "creep".

An on-site survey will be carried out by the installers before any sort of installment to allow the aerial fitters to finalise a plan of action. This should include a routing plan for the cables from the dish or TV antenna and the best entry point for the cabling into your property. The survey is critical if you have more than one room that needs to be provided with a TV. At the end of this initial survey you should be provided with an accurate quote from the installation team.

The knowledge and experience of any issues and signal problems in the Surbiton area, that a locally based aerial installation team has, will be crucial. Their local understanding of any inherant signal strength problems in Surbiton means they can supply the right equipment to obtain maximum reception.

The aerial or dish will then be given some small, final tuning adjustments to obtain the best signal strength on the TV reception meter. The entry points can then be drilled and made waterproof, and the cable threaded through and securely mounted along its path to the satellite dish or aerial.

Finally the connection is made to your decoder box or television and the setup and installation of the whole system is made. This will include the tuning-in and storing of all the channels that are available on your chosen platform.

When picking an aerial installer in Surbiton there are several industry selected trade bodies and associations who provide certified and trained, who can give clients confidence.
