Pixelated or freezing images
Channels dropping out regularly
Poor picture quality that worsens in bad weather
Missing channels that should be available in your area
Your aerial is visibly damaged or has been in place for over 10 years
Large trees and buildings are main obstacles that can negatively impact TV signal reception. Properly positioning the aerial to avoid these obstacles is crucial for optimal performance.
Our local engineers can perform a signal strength test at your property to determine if your current aerial is performing optimally. In many cases, the aerial itself may be fine, but could need realignment or have connection issues that our technicians can quickly resolve.
The local transmitter provides strong signals to most properties in the area, but terrain features, tall buildings, and other obstacles can affect reception quality at individual addresses. Our technicians understand the unique reception challenges in different neighborhoods and can recommend the most effective solution for your specific location.
How long does a TV aerial installation typically take in St-Albans?
A standard TV aerial installation usually takes between 1-2 hours to complete. However, the exact timeframe depends on several factors:
The complexity of the installation (height and position of the aerial)
The number of TV points required
Whether new cabling needs to be routed through the property
If additional services like TV mounting are included
Weather conditions on the day of installation
Our ability to install aerials without height restrictions allows us to position them optimally, overcoming potential signal obstacles like trees and buildings.
For more complex installations involving multiple rooms or custom setups, the process might take 3-4 hours. Our technicians always work efficiently while ensuring every aspect of the installation meets our high-quality standards.
We offer flexible appointment scheduling with specific time slots, so you don’t need to wait around all day. When you book, we’ll provide you with a realistic timeframe based on your specific requirements.
What types of TV aerials do you install and which is best for my area?
We install several types of TV aerials depending on your specific needs and local signal conditions:
- High-gain digital aerials – Ideal for areas with weaker signals or properties far from transmitters
- Standard digital aerials – Perfect for most homes with good signal strength
- Indoor aerials – For properties where outdoor installation isn’t possible or in strong signal areas
- Specialized directional aerials – For addressing specific reception challenges
The best aerial for your property depends on various factors including your distance from the local transmitter, surrounding terrain, potential obstructions, and the specific channels you want to receive.
Our local area primarily receives signals from the main regional transmitter, but some neighborhoods may benefit from aerials pointed at alternative transmitters for better reception. Our technicians carry signal meters and have detailed knowledge of local reception patterns, allowing them to recommend and install the optimal aerial for your specific location.
