Local Freeview Aerial Installation
Freeview is received through a TV aerial and provides access to a wide range of subscription-free television and radio channels. A dependable setup needs the correct aerial type, a suitable mounting position, good-quality cable and accurate alignment.
If your picture freezes, channels disappear or the television displays no signal, the problem may be linked to the aerial, cable, wall plate, splitter or tuning. An engineer can test the complete signal path before advising whether installation or repair is the best option.

Freeview Aerial Installation FAQs
Do I need a new aerial for Freeview?
Not always. An existing aerial may be suitable if it is safe, correctly aligned and provides a stable signal.
Can a new aerial improve missing channels?
Yes, when missing channels are caused by an old, damaged or unsuitable aerial system. The signal should be tested first.
Will you tune my television after installation?
Where relevant, the engineer can tune the television or Freeview box and check the available channels.
Can one aerial feed several televisions?
Yes, where the available signal is suitable. Additional cabling, splitters or a distribution amplifier may be required.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. Free no obligation quotes are available before agreed work begins.

We can install a new aerial, upgrade an older system, replace damaged cabling, check wall sockets and tune your channels once the signal has been tested.
Although this page focuses on Freeview aerial installation, some homes may only need a smaller fault repaired. In that case, our TV aerial repairs page explains fault finding for poor signal, pixelation and missing channels. If a brand new general aerial setup is needed, visit our TV aerial installation page.
What Makes a Good Freeview Setup?
A good Freeview installation is not just about putting up an aerial. Instead, it is about building a stable signal path from the aerial to the TV, with the right parts fitted in the right places.
Right Aerial Choice
The aerial needs to suit your property, signal conditions and viewing requirements. This helps avoid weak reception and unreliable channels.
Ask for adviceSignal Testing
Testing helps confirm signal strength and signal quality before final decisions are made. Therefore, the engineer can recommend the most suitable setup.

New Freeview Aerial Installation
A new Freeview aerial may be the right option if you are moving into a property, replacing an old system or setting up subscription-free TV for the first time. The engineer can check the available signal, install the aerial, connect the feed and tune your TV where suitable.
This keeps the page focused on Freeview, while general aerial fitting information remains on the main aerial installation page.
Book Freeview InstallationMissing Freeview Channels
Missing channels can be caused by poor signal, incorrect tuning, damaged cable, aerial movement or a faulty booster. A signal check is usually better than repeatedly retuning, because retuning before the fault is fixed can remove channels from your TV list.
If the aerial is still suitable, a repair may be enough. If not, we can explain whether a Freeview aerial upgrade is the better long-term solution.
View Repair HelpFreeview in Another Room
If you want Freeview in a bedroom, kitchen, extension or home office, the signal may need to be distributed correctly. Simply splitting the cable without testing can cause weak reception, especially on HD channels.
Our engineer can check whether your current aerial can support extra points and advise on a suitable setup.
View Extra TV PointsOld Aerial Upgrade
An older aerial may still work, but corrosion, old cable or poor positioning can make Freeview unreliable. If the system is not delivering a clean digital signal, an upgrade can improve everyday viewing and reduce repeated channel problems.
Before recommending replacement, the engineer can inspect the system and explain whether repair or upgrade is the sensible option.
Call for AdvicePoor Reception Advice
Some properties need careful aerial positioning due to nearby buildings, trees, roof height or signal conditions. If Freeview is limited, the engineer can explain the options and may suggest Freesat or satellite where a dish-based service is more suitable.
This gives you clear guidance before spending money on a setup that may not be right for the property.
