Over the last few years, you will inevitably have heard people talking about the digital switchover. It has been discussed in the media and you will have seen adverts about it too. However, you might not be fully clued up as to what exactly is going on.

Well, TV is going digital, which means the existing analogue signal will be switched off and replaced with a new digital signal. As a result of the change, nearly everyone will be able to receive digital TV through an aerial.

Because digital TV uses less broadcast space, there will be more room for new services like high definition channels and wireless broadband. However, in order to keep your viewing service, you will need to [...] Continue Reading…

Some people love nothing more than whipping out a toolbox and engaging in some DIY. If this applies to you, the thought of attempting TV wall mounting probably does not seem daunting. However, if like many individuals you dread making alterations to your home yourself, you might be scared by the prospect.

Whether it’s cars, bikes or computers, all things go wrong and need to be repaired from time to time. Unfortunately, this also applies to TV aerials. Standard aerials have to face the elements so it should really come as no surprise when the signal becomes poor because inclement weather or over curious birds have knocked the unit out of kilter. And it is not just old-fashioned antennas which can play up when you least expect it. Faulty digital TV aerials and satellite systems can be equally frustrating.

Even the very latest digital technology is not immune to occasional issues of ghosting, screen pixelation, blocky images, and sometimes even the disappearance of the satellite signal altogether. When the frustration gets too [...] Continue Reading…

Although the highly publicised digital switchover is well under way, there is still quite a bit of confusion about exactly how peoples’ TV signals will be affected by the process. Of course, people who receive their TV channels via satellite or cable service don’t need to be too concerned as their digital signals are taken care of by their service providers. But what about Freeview customers who get their TV signals from standard TV aerials?

Well, the chances are that if you currently receive a decent Freeview signal then your TV aerial should still work after the switchover. Even if you don’t get a great Freeview signal at present, you still may not need to buy a new aerial. This [...] Continue Reading…
