Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a new TV aerial?
The cost of installing a new TV aerial will depend on multiple factors including the location, type of aerial, complexity of the installation and the specific requirements for your property. For a free, no-obligation quote on TV aerial installation for your commercial or domestic property, contact us at 0800 195 8056 today.
Can you help improve my current TV signal?
Yes, we offer diagnostic and TV aerial repair services to identify and fix any issues you may be having with your aerial which may be affecting the signal. This may involve adjusting your current aerial, replacing damaged parts or installing a new aerial if you require one. We will carry out the relevant service, depending on what we find during the diagnosis.
How long does aerial installation take?
A standard TV aerial installation typically takes between 1-3 hours to complete, but more complex installations may take longer. Our aerial technicians will be able to provide a better time estimate if you get in contact with more information.
What should I do if my TV signal suddenly goes out?
If your TV signal goes out, check the cables from your TV and ensure they are connected properly. If the cable looks damaged then it may be worth replacing it. If you have checked all TV cables and they are undamaged and plugged in but the signal still isn’t working, it may be an issue with your aerial. Our technicians will be able to quickly identify and resolve any issues through our diagnostic and repair service.
Can I receive Freeview through a satellite dish?
Unfortunately, no. Freeview can only be received through an aerial. For more information regarding satellite television, see our Freesat information. Freesat is similar to Freeview but it’s specifically designed for satellite reception. If you need assistance with setting up Freeview or Freesat, our technicians can help you choose the right equipment and ensure a proper installation.
Can I receive any foreign channels through my aerial?
Again, unfortunately not. For this, you would again need a satellite dish which would need to be aligned to the appropriate foreign satellite and set-top-box to receive the foreign channels you were after. Receiving foreign channels directly through a TV aerial is generally not possible because these broadcasts are transmitted from within their respective countries and do not reach outside their intended coverage areas. If you would like to access foreign channels then we suggest a satellite dish, cable TV or internet streaming.
How do I know what sort of aerial I need on my house?
One of our expert engineers will be able to advise you what sort of aerial you’d need, depending on your location and surroundings. It also depends on how many televisions you are planning to connect to it. At Aerial Man, we offer expert consultations and installations to ensure you get the best possible TV reception. Our technicians can assess your property, recommend the most suitable aerial, and install it to provide the best signal quality. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and find the perfect aerial for your home.
Can I have it in more than 1 room?
Yes, one television aerial can work multiple televisions on your property. No need for multiple aerials! We specialise in installing multi-room TV aerials, our experienced technicians will install an aerial system that suits your home, ensuring you have a strong and reliable TV signal in every room.
I have an old CRT television. Do I need a new TV for Freeview?
No. All you need is an additional Freeview set-top-box for any television which isn’t Freeview ready. If you need assistance setting up your Freeview set-top box, our technicians can help.
How do I know if I’m in a poor reception area?
Not a problem, we’d be more than happy to send one of our friendly engineers out to you for a free signal test and let you know what the best for the area you live in is. We will carry out a signal test and diagnostic to determine the quality of TV reception at your location. Based on our findings, we suggest the relevant solution. Contact us to schedule an assessment and improve your TV viewing experience.
Do I need a TV licence for Freeview?
Yes, you need a TV licence to watch any TV programming in the UK, regardless of the device or service you are using, including Freeview. For more information visit their website at www.tvlicensing.co.uk/.
