TV Aerials are designed to receive television signals and send them as tiny electrical impulses through a cable to your TV. Where you have poor reception, there can be a variety of problems that will cause this. As your local AERIAL INSTALLER IN STEVENAGE, we regularly attend properties to fix poor TV reception problems.
Here are some common issues that may be affecting your Aerial system:
Loose Connections
Where connections are loose, the electrical signal must overcome a great resistance to make it from the aerial to the television. Check that the connections to the back of the television are tight and similarly to the wall outlet for the aerial cable.
Water in the cable
Where water enters the cable the picture quality on your tv can be affected. The outside sheath of the coaxial cable can break down over time and allow water to enter the inside of the cable causing electrical signal problems.
Water in the cable can also be a sign that your TV aerial is letting in water which may mean it needs to be replaced.
Poor Signal Strength
High winds, animals and other issue can gradually affect the angle or direction at which your aerial is pointing and cause poor signal strength. The aerial needs to be directed at an optimal position to receive the strongest signal for your TV. If you live in a poor signal area then an amplifier may be a good option to boost a weak signal.
Damaged Cables
Aerial cables can become damaged from items stored in the loft, furniture that may have been placed on them or foot traffic from poorly situated cabling. Over time, this damage can cause internal damage to the copper wiring and lead to poor signal, missing channels, and intermittent problems with the signal.
Obstructions
Recent construction works and scaffold can impede a signal from reaching your TV so look out of your windows and see what is happening in the area that could be affecting your signal.
