TV Aerial Installations Gone Wrong
In many households, we still rely on our TV aerial to watch programmes, and with the introduction of digital transmissions the picture is either completely there or there is absolutely nothing. We don’t have the in-between stage like the grainy images of the past. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that your TV aerial installation is done correctly so that you get the best possible picture.
Benefits of Successful TV Aerial Installations
With the majority of households still watching television through a terrestrial system, the aerial is important for a good viewing experience. If this is incorrectly fitted, it can result in no picture or one that is constantly breaking up.
This can easily be rectified by having a professional aerial installer look at the problem, but it’s best to try to avoid these issues in the first place when you book a Gloucester TV aerial installation.
When Can TV Aerial Installations Go Wrong?
TV aerial installers have numerous tales of the bad and potentially dangerous aerials they have encountered in the past.
For instance, if you’re going to invest in a strong bracket to attach the aerial, it’s important to use the correct number of screws to ensure it’s securely fitted. Otherwise there’s the risk of it moving out of position or even falling off in bad weather.
A professional Gloucester TV aerial installation company, such as http://steveunettaerials.co.uk/our-services/aerial-services/tv-aerial-repair/tv-aerial-repair-gloucester/, can help to avoid the potential pitfalls of installing aerials. Alongside having the bracket securely fitted, you need to use an appropriately sized galvanised bracket and invest in a high-quality pole to prevent the installation coming loose or leaning.
In order to receive the best possible picture, the aerial needs to be pointing away from any obstructions, such as ensuring it’s directed away from the chimney or roof. By positioning the aerial at a higher point, such as on an apex, it will have a higher height and so a better route to the transmitter. You should also avoid attaching aerials to fascias unless there is no other alternative, as it will be far more secure mounted to a wall.
There are many more examples of disastrous TV aerial installations that could be shared here, but the best way to avoid these is to use a specialist company in the first place rather than going for the cheap or DIY option.
