Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a new TV aerial?
You might need a new TV aerial if you’re experiencing persistent issues with your TV reception such as:
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
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?
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
It is crucial to have the installation securely installed to ensure optimal performance and safety, providing peace of mind and often backed by warranties and guarantees.
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 Gateshead?
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
Using the right antenna is crucial for optimal performance, especially with the advent of 4G and 5G technologies that can interfere with digital TV signals. Ensuring you have a 4G and 5G filtered antenna can significantly improve your viewing experience.
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.
Do you offer any guarantee on your TV aerial installations?
Yes, we provide a comprehensive guarantee on all our TV aerial installations:
All workmanship is guaranteed for a minimum of 12 months

The process is tidy and minimally disruptive
We can usually hide cables for a neat, professional finish
Ensuring uninterrupted viewing is crucial, as proper installation leads to clear signals and stable picture quality, allowing you to enjoy your favorite channels without disruption.
The installation process for additional TV points involves running cables from your main aerial to the desired locations. Our technicians are skilled at finding discreet cable routes through lofts, under floors, or along skirting boards to maintain your home’s aesthetic.
In larger properties or homes with solid walls, we might recommend an amplifier to maintain signal strength across multiple points. Our technicians will advise on the best solution based on your property’s specific layout and construction.
Many customers in the local area choose to have additional points installed in bedrooms, kitchens, and conservatories. We can also install special weatherproof connections for garden rooms or outbuildings.

If you’re experiencing poor TV reception, there are several steps you can take:
Try retuning your television – Sometimes reception issues can be resolved by a simple retune of your TV or set-top box.
Check your connections – Ensure all cables are firmly connected between your aerial socket, TV, and any other devices like amplifiers or splitters.
