TV Aerial not working

Living in Harpenden with a TV Aerial not Working…?

We feel your pain! Here at Robson Aerial Services in Harpenden we know all too well how much we all rely on our TV’s these days and with a TV Aerial not working it’s likely to wreak havoc in some households. Whilst those that are of the opinion time away from various screens does us good others take great comfort from theirs and some literally have to do what ever it takes for harmony to remain within 4 walls!

How does a TV Aerial work?

TV Aerial’s intercept radio waves emitted from television stations. They then convert those radio waves into minute electrical currents. Your smart TV or set-top box then amplifies the signal. From here the TV then selects the information that carries the sound and vision and finally your TV will display the image and sound.

Robson Aerial Services would recommend indoor aerials should you live in a city but as a general rule outdoor aerials are usually better away from these built-up areas. Obstructions such as skyscrapers, trees and even hills can affect the quality of the reception received.
