Digital Freeview Aerials
With over 34 years practical experience in solving customers TV and Radio reception issues, our installation and support staff have acquired a vast knowledge of the problems associated with television and radio reception.
Unlike most analogue broadcasts, the new digital system relies on your equipment receiving a clean uninterrupted stream of digital data which it then decodes from the transmitted digital signal. To ensure that this data stream reaches your equipment satisfactorily the aerial installation needs to be completed to a much higher standard than the older, analogue installations.
If digital products that need a good signal are supplied with an inadequate signal, viewers may find that a range of interference patterns reduce your viewing pleasure, including picture freezing, picture blocking and clicking on the sound.
All our aerial installations utilise high quality equipment which has been approved by major manufacturers and are installed by professional installers using the latest test equipment recommended by the CAI, and digital broadcasters.

If you have anything blocking the reception i.e. trees, building cranes etc. This is why it is important to use a company that have a local knowledge of your area and its differing problems and the experience and knowledge to come up with a cost effective solution quickly and efficiently.
