TV antenna selection and installation tips

Many of the issues reported to us by customers are related to their previous air system or satellite installation. Getting the right signal is the key to good TV reception.

We do not recommend set-top antennas because they rarely provide good results.

Our TV antenna and satellite installation tips. Here are some important tips for our best TV antenna/satellite installation:

• Purchase the correct antenna for your regional transmitter. An iconic premium brand antenna will guarantee performance and structural quality.

• Make sure the mounting is secure, properly aligned and has the correct polarization [component vertical or horizontal].

• If you live near a major road, choose an antenna that includes a balun matching device - this will help reduce interference through traffic.

• Install the antenna outdoors and as high as possible. The UK's television network is designed for outdoor antennas. The attic antenna works only when the signal is strong and the attic is not cluttered. Some roofing materials can make attic antennas far less effective and more susceptible to some kind of interference. Wet tiles can further aggravate the problem. Indoor antennas rarely work unless you have a clear transmitter sight.

• Keep clear through other antennas and metal products of at least 75 cm.

• Avoid direct access to nearby trees.

• Use the highest quality cable for the lower leads [for example, satellite-grade dual-screen coaxial cable], attach it to the pole and feed it into your home to avoid shaking in the breeze. Avoid sharp bends around corners and tiles, etc., and keep them as short as possible. CAI* benchtop cables will guarantee quality.

If your reception has deteriorated recently, please check the following:

• If your antenna is damaged or bent, replace the antenna.

• If your antenna appears to be moving but not damaged, realign it and secure it.

• If your lead looks broken in the plug and feels wet or green, replace it.

• If your antenna is more than 10 years old, its performance may be reduced due to corrosion. This is common in coastal areas where the effective life of the antenna may be less than 10 years. Consider replacing it at the same time and reducing clues.

Most of the above also applies to satellite installations.

If not strictly fixed, the satellite antenna can move and the exposed area may be damaged by wind and debris. The loose cable can be moved and can be disconnected.

For the help of antennas and tableware, we recommend using professional installers.
