Just because you can see hundreds of thousands of Free to Air TV
antennas with the holding mast protruding from the roof tiles, it
doesn’t mean that the work is watertight.
This really requires the expertise of a properly proven and trained antenna installation professional, not a home handyman
If the work is not left watertight, you eventually will have mould, mushrooms and lice infesting your roof cavity, (not nice).
 
Ask to see the technicians “Lead tile rafter” kit.
It comprises of glue, a square piece of lead, and a rubber cover with a hole in the middle for the antenna mast to protrude.
 
If they don’t have this, you won’t be getting a watertight installation.
 
 
There are many Companies and Businesses, that if you explore their time in the TV antenna installation business, you will find many have less than 3 years since inception.
 
This is because the shysters in this industry, change their names because of previous complaints
and prosecution.
 
Try and get a technician to come back and rectify work under warranty after 12 months or more, and it might be like trying to get “blood out of a stone”.
 
Not only will you find the name doesn’t exist anymore, sometimes you will be told that, “I only bought the Company recently, and I am not responsible for any work previous to my purchase”.
 

Sydney TV Antenna Installation Reviews

 
To get the right person for the job, you can read their reviews, but ask if your able to contact the person who wrote the review.
 
Call Fair Trading and ask about their reputation.
 
Use your judgement as to the voice on the phone, and the presentation of the technician who arrives at the front door.
 
If after talking on the phone and meeting the technician, if you wouldn’t invite them to dinner at your home, there is no way you should invite them onto your premises.

Always ask to be emailed a copy of their insurance policies, “Certificates of Currency”, this is the Legal jargon for the copy of the “paid” Policy.
 
Under no circumstances should you allow a technician onto your property without viewing the Installation Companies “Certificates of Insurance”.
 
Anyway, after scaring the living daylights out of you, call me and we will discuss your requirements, and after our conversation, you can make your mind up if “I’m coming to Dinner”,
a joke, but you understand my way of determining who you should invite into your home.
 
Good viewing and enjoy.

Stephen Hawking (Visionary Physicist)

The World is a sadder and lonelier place today with the passing of Stephen Hawking.
I will not write here anything about his achievements or his disability, but most people who know about him will now feel like they have lost a witty and knowledgeable friend, even if they have never met him in person.
I will write one statement and end it there regarding him, he once said,
“It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love”.

Antennas And Why I Love My Job

TV Antennas Installation Sydney

I have been in the Service Industry my whole life, and wouldn’t swap with “Trump” for the Presidency of the USA.

The satisfaction I gratefully acquire from satisfied customers, makes my life worthwhile.

A prospective customer calls me, and it’s either they live in an apartment, a house or their the Head of the Body Corporate from an apartment block, or a commercial premises.

The conversation goes like this, I ask “How long have you had the problem”?

“Is it urgent”, because sometimes a lot of people could be affected by the problem, and we look after not only apartment blocks, but also Retirement Villages and Nursing Homes.

So then we confer with the customer as to a time that suits them to solve the problem.

 

TV ANTENNAS THAT WE INSTALL ARE SOMETIMES WHERE YOU WOULDN’T IMAGINE

One of our customers is Parklea Gaol, and it sends shivers through the Gaol staff when the inmates TVs are not working, for obvious reasons.

Sometimes there’s a special sporting event showing, and the inmates are really “tuned in” (excuse the pun) to sport, so it makes them very unhappy if they have no TV reception.

We have been called by Parklea Gaol at 8pm, and my technician who looks after them, knows the intricacies of the system, and how important it is to rectify the problem as soon as reasonably possible and we solve the problem, and the Gaol is very happy and relieved with our service.

So solving a problem and making customers happy and satisfied, is a challenge that we pursue with great gusto.

We have had invalids who live alone, and are virtually confined to their premises and TV is their main source of enjoyment, my hand picked staff are always willing to sacrifice their own free time to make good.

As i said at the start of this “story”, we’re in “the service industry”, and nothing makes us more contented than the grateful appreciation of our customers.

We are fully insured.

So, if you have a problem with TV reception or you need some kind of addition to your current reception apparatus, please call me, (only I answer the phone”) this way you don’t have to keep pressing different buttons on your phone while listening to a recording.

This is me, Mr. Denis Bowman, 0411 273 648 or 1300 115 727.

OK, I’m waiting, where are you?

Do You Need One TV Antenna for Each TV ?

Most homes in Australia have at least three TV sets. When properly configured a single antenna can easily be used for multiple televisions in your home. You can also use an individual antenna for each television throughout the house, however, some of the TVs might be located in an area of your home that faces away from the transmitter.

As experts in digital TV antenna services Sydney, we specialize in setting up single antennas for multiple TVs. We also need to take into account other factors when setting up your antenna such as the location of your home, amazing viewing, and cabling are amazing viewing result can be achieved with a quality antenna.

Buying a single quality antenna is the best solution when you want a great TV reception. For terrific results, you can use your existing cable TV wiring. It can be tricky to find the cable… it could be located in the basement, outside in the backyard or in the garage. You will need special tools to connect it. If this cable is being used for internet access it cannot also be used for TV as well.

The other option is to use a new quality splitter with short cable lengths. For 2 TVs use a two-way splitter. For 3 use a three-way splitter. Generally, you will also need to add a quality amplifier to the antenna. You will need some superior caliber cabling as well. Before your set up your antenna, test it at each individual TV location.

When setting up multiple TVs move your antenna to an optimal location in line with broadcasting towers. Setting up multiple TV’s can be tricky. At times they can all work fine with singular antennas, and then when an outdoor antenna is installed the reception can fail. For quality digital antenna installation Sydney areas contact us.

Tips for Better TV Reception

You need to know the best type of antenna and cabling to purchase, how to correctly set up the antenna and your tv equipment and you need to be aware of safety issues when you install the equipment.

Here are 3 tips for better digital TV reception:

  1. Antenna Placement

Ensure that the antenna is placed in the best spot of your home for a reception and is facing in the right direction. Ideally, it should be placed on the roof. Find out what direction the TV channels are coming from and face the antenna in that direction.

If installing indoors the best position for a flat antenna is usually against windows or outwardly facing walls.

For best antenna placement contact an experienced professional. We provide antenna services Sydney areas.

  1. Quality Cable

Use a top-quality cable for best digital TV reception. The standard cable that comes with your antenna is not usually the best quality. For best results use an RG6 or higher quality cable. A superior cable with better shielding and insulation is designed for higher frequencies.

  1. Eliminate Electronic Interference

Nearby fluorescent lights, computers, DVD players, stereos wi-fi and more can interfere with your TV reception. To find the cause try turning off each source one at a time until you find the culprit!

The Poor TV Reception ,The Main Reasons Why

Posted by accent15 on with 0 Comment

 

Main Reasons Of Poor TV Reception

There can be a number of reasons you may be experiencing poor TV reception. The best way to determine this is to use an expert who can come to your home, asses your set-up then diagnose and resolve the problem.

The first thing we would look at is your antenna. Is it an analogue antenna? Or Digital? How old is it? These factors can determine the quality of your picture. We will then look at where it is mounted. Sometimes the position of the antenna can affect the quality of reception you will get. Ideally, it should be pointing in the correct direction for the signal (this is something only a professional can diagnose).

We will then asses the cabling. Most cabling can last 15-20 years so even if you have old cabling installed, unless it is kinked or damaged in some way, it should be fine for digital TV. An expert will also be able to assess the splitters and wall plates. These can be damaged during storms and in Sydney, we know this is not an uncommon occurrence.

Further to assessing the actual antenna and cabling set-up, we can then also check your tuning. All new TV’s are made with an automatic tuning feature. This means once tuned, they should stay that way however, in rare cases, there may be an issues with the manufacturing of the TV.

One of the most common reasons for poor TV reception is cheap cabling. Don’t spend thousands on a TV and one dollar on a cable. Using top quality wiring will guarantee you a top quality picture.

Lastly, interference can be the cause. This can come from computers, air conditioners/heaters and powerlines.
