TV Aerial Installation Birchington-on-Sea

It could be that you have just bought a new property where no tv aerial has been fitted or it has been removed by the sellers. Most property owners in Birchington-on-Sea are uneasy at the idea of working at the sort of heights that are associated with replacing and installing a TV aerial. This is going to be the time when you need to track down an experienced satellite and aerial installation specialist.

There are lots of systems and plans on the market, but which one is best for you?

FREEVIEW TV - Since the British Isles switched to digital from analogue broadcasting in 2005, all TV sets sold from 2008 onwards had to be digital ready and include an inbuilt digital decoder. If your television set was not digital ready it needed a set top decoder unit in order to receive the channels.

Even if you've got a set top box or suitable digital television, you still need a TV aerial to pick up the broadcast channels. Having the correct aerial for your region is hugely important to be certain of receiving a strong enough signal from the closest TV transmitter.

Freeview offers all of Great Britain's principal channels coupled with Birchington-on-Sea regional channels. You'll be able to pick up over 70 SD and up to 15 HD channels depending on your signal strength and exact region. Freeview also offers more than 30 digital radio stations, regional and national for you to tune in to via your TV set.

FREESAT - Very much like Freeview broadcasting, but instead of signals being received from a ground based transmitter using a digital aerial, it relies on a satellite dish. If your television seems to have a "DVB-S" connection, you might not need a separate satellite digital decoder to view radio and TV programmes.

To receive the maximum amount of channels you need good signal strength and quality levels, which are boosted by a correct size of satellite dish and associated Low Noise Block (LNB - the attachment on the arm of the satellite dish. You are able to receive more free programmes from different broadcasters by putting in a larger satellite dish and higher gain LNB to receive weaker signals.

It is possible in Birchington-on-Sea even using the cheapest and most basic Freesat dish and box to receive almost three hundred channels of programming to enjoy, (20+ HD, 200+ SD, 40+ Digital Radio).

The major satellite companies such as SKY, VIRGIN MEDIA and BT also feature a free service similar to Freesat or Freeview, where signing up for a subscription is not a necessity. A dedicated digital decoder and appropriate TV aerial or satellite dish is all that is generally needed.

The subscription services offered by these providers can be adapted to match your family or business needs, and costs vary accordingly. With more than four hundred channels covering major sporting events, concerts and new movie releases and even exclusive TV shows and box sets, there is something for everybody to relish.

Many commercial companies also offer you streaming content using your broadband facility.

Whatever service you decide on, commercial, Freeview or Freesat, there are ways to record content directly onto your decoder box, or onto an external hard drive, to watch when it suits you.

A clear line of sight is needed from the main broadcasting station to your television aerial so as to get the strongest signal. To accomplish this you might need the aerial to be installed on the highest point of your property and perhaps even fixed upon a higher pole to elevate it above any nearby obstacles.

It's recommended that any aerial installations in Birchington-on-Sea are done by a professional aerial installer. For peace of mind look out for the letters CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) when you are picking an aerial installation company and be safe in the knowledge that they've trained and qualified to carry out any installation work that you need.

Even though a satellite dish gets its signal from a satellite orbiting above, it still needs there to be no obstructions to receive a decent TV signal. A poorly located satellite dish can receive a weak signal when it is to some degree obstructed by trees, buildings and other structures that affect the reception.

Technical equipment is required for the installation to make sure the satellite dish is aimed in the correct direction, since even an error of a couple of centimetres can make an enormous difference to the quality of the signal. By carefully aligning the satellite dish to obtain maximum signal strength, the dish will then be firmly installed to avoid any possibility of movement because of the effects of the wind.

An on-site survey will be completed by the installers before any sort of installation process to enable the aerial fitters to finalise a plan of action. This should lay out the specifics of any cable entry points and the course the cable will have to travel from the television aerial or dish to the final destination on the inside of property. If you've got multi-room television requirements this survey is critical to give you the best possible reception for every user. After the initial survey you should be given an accurate price quote from the installation team.

The knowledge and familiarity with any signal problems and issues in the Birchington-on-Sea area, that a local aerial installer has, will be vital. Because of this they are able to offer the necessary equipment to enable the best reception possible.

The actual installation will see the TV aerial attached to your property and strength of the signal analyzed. The aerial or dish will then be given some final, small adjustments to obtain the best signal strength on the testing equipment. The cable entry points will then be drilled and sealed, and the cable passed through and fixed securely along its course to the dish or aerial.

Finally the connection is made to your digital decoder box or television set and the setting up and installation of the system is completed. The installation is finally accomplished when all of the TV and radio channels have been scanned for and stored on your decoder.

To stay clear of shoddy workmanship and to give clients in Birchington-on-Sea peace of mind when installing an aerial, there are several professional organisations who supply training and accreditation to selected aerial installation technicians. The CAI, as mentioned earlier, makes sure its registered members maintain and adhere to industry standards by providing City and Guilds training and professional accreditation.

Any CAI member will have been vetted and checked before being allowed to join. This ensures that those tradesmen with the best standards, skills and trustworthiness in aerial installation can be identified by customers. The CAI also requires all of its members to fully guarantee any installation work for a minimum of 12 months from the day that the project is completed.

Another method of finding genuine aerial and satellite dish installers in Birchington-on-Sea is to use the Government authorised, TrustMark scheme. Only members of the CAI may gain this extra accreditation and approval for signal reception and the home entertainment industry from TrustMark. The additional layer of client confidence that this service affords to a company highlights their safe, professional and competent handling of any a satellite dish or TV antenna installation project.

High Gain Aerials Birchington-on-Sea

In areas with a mediocre signal strength it's normally better to install what is known as a High Gain television antenna. The main benefit of a High Gain antenna in weak signal locations, is that some free-to-air digital programmes can generally still be received. These sorts of antennas should be positioned up high on brackets and poles to raise them above any potential obstructions. To avoid picking up nuisance interference and a weakened signal, High Gain TV antennas should not be used in places with a decent TV signal.

TV Aerial Booster Birchington-on-Sea

Digital TV calls for a strong signal, and if you're unlucky enough to live in an area of poor signal strength, it can be frustrating attempting to watch your favourite soaps and television shows. You'll find that intermittent sound, blocky pictures and ghosting can all be caused by a poor quality signal to your receiver or digital TV. A decent aerial booster can help to bring your signal up to a good level for perfect viewing.

For best results it is advised to install the signal booster as near to your antenna as possible. The reasoning behind this is that you must magnify the signal near to its source, thereby avoiding further losses via the cabling.

Before a local aerial fitter in Birchington-on-Sea fits a booster they'll first determine your signal strength and your aerial for any problems. It may be decided that an interior booster is OK due to personal circumstances, e.g. a communal TV aerial in an apartment building in Birchington-on-Sea. In situations like this a powered signal booster is placed between the television and the plug socket to strengthen the signal.
