If you have yet to install cable TV or satellite TV, and you still rely on an aerial, no doubt you are familiar with the problems you can experience with the reception. When watching television and you rely on aerials Shoreham, you can expect fuzzy images, plenty of interference, snow, ghosting and audio static. All these problems are in the reception of the signal, not the broadcast side.
If you rely on aerials in Shoreham for your TV you need to know that reception is directly related to the distance from the aerial to the transmission station. If you and your TV were situated next door to the television transmitter, you would experience perfect reception, however, the farther you get away, the worse the reception gets. The signal will be met with interference on its way to you; bouncing from buildings and distance will affect the results and all combine to poor reception.
There are a few things that you can do to maximize the reception you get when using aerials in Shoreham:
The wiring: If your aerial has been installed for many years there is a good chance a connection may have come loose or the connection points themselves may be corroded. Check for the integrity of all connections.
Install a new splitter: If you split the signal so that more than one TV is working off the feed, try and replace the splitter, the quality today is far superior to what it was some years ago.
Change aerial location: Over the years trees grow and new buildings are erected. These can have a detrimental effect on your reception. You can try relocating the aerial to a different location and re-orient it as well. If you have an aerial which is designed for outdoors and you have it in the loft, move it to where it should be, on the roof. To aid in accurate orientation to the signal, a remote aerial rotor is also something to consider.
Install a booster: Signal boosters work quite well. A booster is a box which is installed in-line between your aerial and your TV. The booster includes an amplifier which will improve the reception. Do not boost the signal too much, as it actually may worsen the reception. If you have a set-top aerial with a booster, do not use a second amplifier.
Replace your aerial: Over the years the aerial may have had an arm or two blown off or bent in the wind. It may be to your advantage to consider replacing it with a new unit. The new aerials are superior to units manufactured some years ago. If you are using a set-top box, definitely replace it with a roof mounted unit.
