TV Aerial Installation Whickham

It may be that you've just purchased a new property where no aerial has been installed or that it has been removed by the sellers. The majority of people in Whickham are uneasy at the very idea of working at the sort of heights involved in installing or replacing a new television aerial. It is now that you need a professional installation company to conduct a survey and install an aerial or satellite dish on your home.

But just what TV systems are on the market?

FREEVIEW - When Great Britain changed from analogue to digital television broadcasting in 2005, TV sets were required to be digital ready to receive any programming. In order to receive the digital channels a digital decoder, or set top box was required for televisions that were not digital compliant.

It matters not if you have a set top box or a digital television; you still need to have a suitable TV aerial to receive the television broadcast. In weak or poor signal regions it is vitally important to have the right aerial or TV antenna installed.

By accessing Freeview you'll get regional TV programmes for the Whickham area combined with the major national channels. Contingent on your signal strength and specific location, there are over seventy Standard Definition (SD) and up to fifteen High Definition (HD) channels offered. It's also possible to listen to over 30 digital radio stations broadcast from all around Britain.

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

The dimensions of the dish and the efficiency of its LNB (Low Noise Block) are crucial for picking up satellite programmes. Larger dishes are more capable of picking up weaker signals from various satellites, meaning you'll be able to watch far more channels from many different countries.

A standard Freesat dish and box in the Whickham area is able to receive over 200 channels in SD, more than 20 HD channels and approximately 40 digital radio stations.

Commercial and subscription based services, such as BT, SKY and VIRGIN, all offer a free service comparable to Freeview or Freesat where a subscription or viewing card is not required. You'll need a dedicated digital decoder from the TV provider and a suitable satellite dish or TV antenna to tune into their channels.

The subscription packages offered by these providers can be modified to match your family or business requirements, and costs fluctuate as a result. From live shows, sports events and new movies, to music channels and exclusive TV shows, you can pick from the over four hundred channels and watch box sets and movies 24 hours a day.

It is also easy to discover and watch content through streaming services over your internet connection.

If you would like to record TV programmes to watch at a time that suits you, 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 television antenna must have a clear line of vision to the broadcasting antenna to gain the best signal. This usually means fixing it high up on your home's roof and perhaps even attaching it to a long pole to lift it above neighbouring properties, trees and other obstacles.

It is suggested that any aerial installation in Whickham is carried out by an experienced and qualified aerial installer. The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) offers accreditation and training to aerial installation companies and technicians, and offers customers a good level of trust in their chosen installation crew.

As with any kind of antenna, a satellite dish needs to be sited where there is no obstacle between itself and the transmitter; in this instance the satellite orbiting high above Whickham. Any obstruction from buildings, trees and other obstacles might cause a weakened signal, interference and interruption to programmes.

Technical equipment is needed for the installation to make sure the dish is aimed in the right direction, where even an error of a few centimetres can make a huge difference to the quality of the signal. By fine tuning the alignment of your satellite dish to receive the best possible signal, the dish will then be solidly affixed to stop any kind of movement because of wind or other factors.

Before any sort of work can be started a site survey will be done so that the aerial installation team have a clear and defined idea of what's required. This will set out the specifics of any points of entry for the cables and the route the cable will have to travel from the television antenna/dish to the termination point inside your property. The on-site survey is vital if you need more than one room to be supplied with a TV. At the end of this on-site survey you will be provided with a precise quote from the aerial installation company.

The knowledge and familiarity with any signal problems and issues in the Whickham area, that a local aerial installer has, will be vital. Their familiarity with any signal problems in the area means they can provide the right equipment to enable maximum reception.

The actual installation process sees the antenna attached to your property and signal verified. There may be some fine tuning necessary during this procedure to make sure of the best reception. Wires will be run and secured to your property and the cable entry point will have to be drilled and made waterproof.

Finally the connection is made to your TV set or decoder and the setup and first time installation of the equipment is completed. At this juncture all of the TV and radio channels will be tuned-in and stored on your equipment.

When picking an aerial installer in Whickham there are a few industry selected trade bodies and associations that provide trained and certified, who can give clients the confidence they deserve. As we've already mentioned, the CAI offers Diploma Level training and offer certification to its members and ensures aerial industry standards are met.

All CAI members are assessed and vetted before they are permitted to join. This provides customers with confidence in the expertise and reliability of the installation team to complete the project to the highest possible standards. The CAI also stipulates that all of its members fully guarantee any aerial installation work for a minimum of 12 months from the date of the project's completion.

The Government authorized Trustmark scheme is another way to identify genuine aerial installers in the Whickham area. To gain the TrustMark accreditation in the home entertainment industry and signal reception, the aerial installers must already be a member of the Confederation of Aerial Industries.
