Advantages Of Hiring Professional TV Aerial Installers

Installing TV aerials is far from being a simple process, and is definitely not a do it yourself project by any means, unless of course you are a professional. Fitting a TV aerial by yourself will also leave you vulnerable to many risks – not only will it be dangerous for you, you won’t have the required insurance, and there are no assurances that you will get the right signal.

Hiring a professional like ourselves will eliminate all dangers and will ensure that your new aerial is fitted professionally and to a high standard, with no exposed cables. Hiring a professional will also be easier, more cost efficient and quicker. By employing us to carry out your installation, it will eliminate you buying an aerial, trying to set it up and possibly failing – if this happens to you, you would have to call a professional anyway, leaving you paying more than what you would have had to have paid in the first place.

If you hire us to carry out you aerial installation needs, then we will rather make sure that we get a highly trained engineer sent out to you on the same day as your enquiry or the very next day at the latest. The installation process is often very quick, meaning you don’t have to wait long before you can enjoy watching your favourite soaps again. Do it by yourself, and it could take hours – that is of course if you get it right.

If you’re in need of a new aerial installing, repairing or upgrading, then please call us today on 0800 2100 370 or fill out the contact form to your left, and one of our engineers will contact you with your free quote. It really is that easy.

This is a question that gets asked by rental tenants on a very regular basis, and the simple answer is that in most cases landlords are NOT obligated to to provide, maintain or repair a TV aerial.

Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 goes so far as to exclude certain things from the implied obligation to repair:

11 (1) In a lease to which this section applies (as to which, see sections 13 and 14) there is implied a covenant by the lessor—

(a) to keep in repair the structure and exterior of the dwelling-house (including drains, gutters and external pipes),

(b) to keep in repair and proper working order the installations in the dwelling-house for the supply of water, gas and electricity and for sanitation (including basins, sinks, baths and sanitary conveniences, but not other fixtures, fittings and appliances for making use of the supply of water, gas or electricity), and

(c) to keep in repair and proper working order the installations in the dwelling-house for space heating and heating water.

In the absence of an obligation (whether express or implied by statute) there is no obligation on either landlord or tenant to repair anything, apart from the repairs which come under the tenant’s obligation to use the property in a tenant like manner.

However, some landlord include TV aerials or TV points in their letting agreement, which could mean if the TV aerial that was there when you moved in is now broken, then the landlord may be responsible for solving the problem.

What we advise here at TV Aerials, is to phone or message your landlord if you have a problem with your TV aerial and see what they advise, in some cases the landlord will want to keep the tenant happy, and pay for the new aerial or repair themselves, or will at least put some money towards it.

Getting angry and annoyed with your TV aerial? Don’t worry, we can help.

We know the frustrations of getting home after a long day at work, putting the kettle on, and sitting down ready to watch your favourite TV programme you’ve waited all day for, for your TV to give you a “No Signal” message.

Why won’t my TV aerial work? You probably asked yourself. Thankfully this blog post will go over some of the most common reasons why your digital aerial or antenna isn’t working as it should be and some of the things you can do yourself to try and get it working again. Or call us on 0800 210 0370 for free advice.

TV Aerial not working, no signal

There are many reasons why your tv isn’t receiving aerial reception, and these can often be…

• Damaged aerial cable
• Damaged tv aerial
• Damaged or non-working aerial sockets/aerial point
• Poorly positioned aerial
• Bad weather
• And more.

If your TV is giving you the dreaded “No Signal” message. First, check your TV is set to the correct source input. More often than not, people change their source to their Blue-ray player or games console and don’t change it back before turning off the television. If this hasn’t worked, and you’ve gone through all the different sources with no luck, then there’s more than likely an issue with your aerial or antenna.

The aerial cable may have become disconnected

It’s not uncommon for an aerial cable to become loose or disconnected from your TV. Have a look at the back of your TV to make sure your aerial cable is connected securely to your TV. We advise you make sure all necessary cables are connected to your tv or set-top box.

Your TV may need Re-tuning

This is often the case when people move into a new house and lose signal. You will more often than not need to retune your TV so that is tuned into the transmitter that your antenna is aligned to.

Transmitters frequencies vary from region to region and your TV needs to tune into those frequencies for you to be able to pick up an aerial signal.

Moved your aerial from your roof to your loft?

People often experience tv signal issues when they have moved their aerial from their roof to their loft. This is often because it’s harder for aerials to receive the reception they need through roof tiles.

Is your aerial poorly positioned or facing the wrong way?

A simple check you can do is to go outside and make sure your aerial is facing the same way as the aerials on your street. If it isn’t, call us on 0800 210 0370 and one of our tv aerial specialists will be able to make the required adjustments.

Faulty TV aerial could be the issue

If you have lost TV aerial signal, then the problem could be down to a faulty or broken tv aerial. Over time, aerials can become faulty due to weather conditions or because they were never correctly installed in the first place. If your TV aerial was installed a long time ago (more than 10 years) it’s probably worth updating your aerial with a new one anyway. This is because of the changes in the way we receive TV aerial signals. Click here for more information regarding our tv aerial installation services.

Do I need an indoor or outdoor TV aerial?

There are basically two options to choose from: an indoor aerial or an outdoor aerial. How to choose?

Indoor aerial

If you live within a 15 miles radius of the nearest transmitter, you can choose to have an indoor or outdoor aerial. Both will have optimal reception, but an indoor aerial is definitely easier to install as you don’t have to mount it. Do always check specifications to see the exact reach of each indoor aerial as there are aerials with a reach of 3 miles, 9 miles, and 15 miles.

Outdoor aerial

If you live in a 15 to 30 miles radius of the nearest transmitter, you should use an outdoor aerial for a crystal clear reception. Most common outdoor aerials are the Yagi aerials, but there are more easy to mount and more modern looking outdoor aerials as well. Do always check individual product specifications as reach may differ from 15 miles up to 30 miles.

You can also determine the type of aerial you need by looking at the houses around you. If most of them have an aerial, then you more than likely will need an indoor aerial.

If you determine you need an outdoor aerial, you will often require help from a professional. This is for safety and best setup reasons.The type of TV aerial you need depends on which is better for your home in relation to the transmitter.

Yes. You need an aerial to receive Freeview. If your TV has been made after 2010, then there’s a good chance your TV already has Freeview built-in. All you have to do is connect your TV to a working aerial. If your TV has Freeview built-in, you need an aerial in good condition to pick up the Freeview signal.

We advise using a roof aerial for Freeview as this will cause fewer problems with interference. If you need a new aerial or to repair an existing aerial then get in touch with our friendly Freeview installers.

Here at TV Aerials, we often get asked a lot of questions, one of the most common being “can you watch a smart TV without an aerial?”.

That is why we have written this post so that we can put this question to bed once and for all.

So, can you watch a smart TV without an aerial? If you want to watch a TV station, you WILL need a TV aerial to receive TV Channels. If you wish to receive Freeview through your smart TV, you will also need an aerial to do so.

However, since you have a smart television it should have internet TV services such as Netflix, Amazon, BBC iPlayer and more built in. You don’t require an aerial to watch these services. This is because you will be streaming content from the internet.

You will need an aerial to watch live TV in your area.

We’ve found people often have the misconception of smart televisions being able to receive Freeview without having an aerial installed. However, this simply isn’t the case. To be able to watch Freeview on your smart TV, you will also need an aerial installed and connected to your smart television.

If you have a smart TV, but don’t have an aerial to connect to it, then please contact our friendly team of tv aerial installers today for a free installation quote. We serve the whole of the UK and have engineers in your area.
