Testing & Inspections

Having poor TV reception is frustrating, especially if you don’t know what’s causing it. That’s where our troubleshooting service can help. With years of testing and inspection experience, I can diagnose your TV or aerial problems quickly. Digital signal levels (MUX) received at the user end must be within certain tolerances; otherwise, having too much signal instead of not enough can yield the same effect. Every installation or service call is checked with a spectrum analyser and adjusted accordingly.

Services , Repairs , Bird spikes fitted, Redundant aerial and cable removals

Don’t let bad pictures or lost channels spoil your viewing experience. We can provide a complete service for your aerial systems to find and fix any issues. If you have an older wideband aerial (there’s no such thing as a digital aerial) and you’re experiencing pixelation or a “No signal” message, this may be due to 4/5G interference from a nearby mast or simply a worn-out system. An aerial upgrade or filters can be installed to solve this. I have the tools to repair your signal issues and get you back to watching in no time.

There are different ways to do this depending on your requirements and signal strength, including the use of signal boosters or splitters to ensure optimal performance.

Starlink installation

From £180

Choosing between a wall and a chimney mount for your starlink depends on your property’s obstructions and structural integrity.

If the property has a clear view of the sky with minimal overhangs from gutters / soffitts & fascias then a wall mounted installation with easier access is the best option. If you have obstructions from wide building overhangs or trees causing line of sight issues then a chimney mounted installation may an alternative solution, but these can be more costly due to being more labour intensive and having to use specialised access equipment like roof crawlers etc to gain access.

Chimneys require dedicated cradle brackets/ lashing kits and heavy duty poles due to wind loads on the dish. these are used so no drilling is required into the brickwork causing damage. At the moment Starlink can offer free installation through third party companies but these are only standard installs so it may not work for you. Every job is different so please get in touch to discuss your requirements and a free no obligation quotation.
