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

Freeview, Freesat or Commercial

FREEVIEW - When the UK converted from to digital broadcasting from analogue in 2005, TVs were required to be digital compliant to receive any programming. For older televisions a separate decoder was required.

It doesn't matter if you have a set top box or a digital television; you still need to have an appropriate TV aerial to receive the television broadcast. Having the appropriate aerial or TV antenna for your area is hugely important to be sure of getting a sufficiently strong signal from the closest TV broadcast transmitter.

Freeview, via a suitable TV antenna, offers national programmes together with Hedge End regional programming. Contingent on your exact location and signal strength, there are over seventy SD (Standard Definition) and up to fifteen HD (High Definition) channels available. It can also receive at least 30 digital radio stations.

FREESAT - In contrast to Freeview broadcasting, which receives signals through a digital aerial, Freesat requires a satellite dish to receive television and radio programmes. A digital satellite decoder is needed to receive broadcasts, which some cutting-edge televisions will have built in, (look for "DVB-S" on the specs of the TV).

A basic Freesat dish and box setup in the Hedge End area is able to receive over 200 channels in SD, more than 20 HD channels and approximately forty radio stations.

Commercial Packages

The major satellite TV providers such as BT, SKY and VIRGIN also provide a free service much like Freeview or Freesat, where getting tied into a subscription isn't a necessity. All you will want is a TV antenna or satellite dish and a decent digital decoder.

Aerial Installation Hedge End

A TV antenna should have as clear a line of vision to the broadcasting antenna as possible to get the strongest possible signal. This generally means installing it as high up as possible on the roof of your home and possibly even attached to a tall pole to lift it above trees, neighbouring properties and other obstructions.

It is generally suggested that any aerial installation in Hedge End is undertaken by an experienced and qualified aerial installer. The CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries) offers training and certification to installation companies and technicians, and offers customers peace of mind and trust in their chosen installation team.

Satellite Dish Installation Hedge End

Despite the fact that a satellite dish gets signals from a satellite orbiting high above, it still needs as few obstructions as possible to receive a good signal. An improperly situated satellite dish can receive a weak signal by being to some extent impeded by trees, buildings and other structures that inhibit reception.

The installing of a satellite dish involves perfect placement, therefore the aerial technician will perform tests with technical equipment to make sure this is correct. As the alignment of your satellite dish is vital to the best performance of the system, the dish will then be solidly fastened in position to stop any possibility of it moving.

What is Involved With Aerial Installation in Hedge End?

Any kind of installation process, satellite dish or television aerial will require a site survey for the installers to plan the job. The on-site survey will establish points of entry into the property for the cabling required, safe routing of the cable and secure fixing points for the dish or TV aerial. The on-site survey is very important if you have more than one room that needs to be provided with a TV system. When the initial survey has been completed the installers should be able to provide you with a definitive estimate for the job.

Your local aerial installers in Hedge End will have familiarity with the signal strengths and issues affiliated with your area. Because of this they can offer the correct equipment needed to enable the best reception possible.

The strength of the signal will be analyzed once the aerial is placed in position. There may be some fine tuning necessary during this process to make certain of the best coverage. The cable entry holes will then be drilled and made waterproof, and the cable threaded through and mounted securely along its route to the aerial or dish.

The final stage of the installation is going to be connecting everything to your decoder box or television and the setting up and testing of the whole system. This will involve the fine-tuning and saving of all the channels that are available on your chosen platform.

A site survey from a competent Hedge End TV aerial installation company will check your existing aerial and test the signal level being received, in order to provide the optimal booster for your circumstances. It could be decided that an internal booster is suitable due to your individual situation, e.g. a shared antenna in a block of flats in Hedge End.
