Aerial Installation in Leighton Buzzard

Aerial Installation is the best choice when it comes to Freeview or live tv channels. A well installed television aerial can often provide better reception than a satellite dish when bad weather conditions are around. It can also have its feed split to multiple televisions throughout the property which is useful if you have more than one television in the home.

We are your local AERIAL INSTALLER IN LEIGHTON BUZZARD and can provide new and replacement aerials along with other services that you may require.

Do I need a new aerial often?

A well installed, high-quality TV aerial can last between 10-20 years before it needs replacing. A variety of factors can affect the lifespan of the aerial and a professional aerial installer is best placed to advise when yours needs replacing.

It is often difficult to tell if you need a replacement aerial without a specialist aerial installer carrying out some testing. There are signs that you may need a new TV aerial such as:


•    Poor Signal Quality
•    Missing Channels
•    A freezing or pixelating picture
•    Water ingress through the coaxial cabling
•    Visible damage to the aerial

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it does not necessarily mean that the aerial requires replacing as there may be issues with the coaxial cabling that runs from the aerial to the television.

A signal amplifier or booster could also be the reason you are experiencing picture problems at the television.

Can bad weather affect aerials?

Prolonged bad weather and high winds can cause water ingress into connections and misalignment of the aerial positioning. Aerials need to be mounted relatively high up on the property in order to receive a good signal. Unfortunately, this can make them susceptible to the affects of high winds and debris collisions.

Where aerials get knocked around by weather conditions, they may shift slightly from the ideal position resulting in lost channels, poor signal, pixelation and other problems.

If you require any assistance with your TV aerial installation then don’t hesitate to get in touch.
