Bird spikes
A TV aerial is the perfect perch for a bird. Unfortunately this can cause numerous problems, the most common being the mess they make. If the TV aerial is located above a driveway or door, bird droppings can be very annoying to clean up everyday. The good news is there are options available to stop this happening. The ideal solution would be to relocate the aerial, either to inside the loft or a different location on the property. Sometimes the optimal place for the TV aerial over hangs over doors or drives etc. In this case we can install a cranked mast so the aerial and mess drops onto the roof. Another solution would be to install bird spikes onto the aerial to deter the birds from landing on it. The bird spikes themselves are plastic so will not cause any interference to digital signals, just cosmetically they are not the most appealing. Book in for a free quotation and our engineers can discuss all your options.
Questions and Answers
How many rooms can you feed off one aerial?
Hotels with a hundred plus rooms only have one Aerial so there is no limit as these would be fed from an amplifier. On domestic properties however depending on which transmitter you receive your signals from you would not have use an amplifier if the signal strength was high enough, again this would only be known if you used a signal meter.
Do aerials need to be fitted outside?
No, most aerials fitted outside were done so for ease of gaining clear signal in the days of analogue, a digital signal can be obtained in most, but not all situations from the roof space (loft) though the signal strength will be lower therefore would need amplifying to distribute to other rooms.
My picture on my digital TV is breaking up/going into squares/pixellating, is this my aerial?
The majority of time yes, it is an aerial fault. Sometimes it can be a tuner problem in the digital TV or digi-box. If it is an aerial problem, it usually points to a weak or poor signal or possibly 4G LTE mobile phone signals. For this we can fit a 4G filter. all our engineers have spectrum analyser meters to check the signal strength.
I have some channels missing?
The signals are transmitted in what is called a multiplex or mux. And each one carries a number of channels. If any of these are weaker than the signal level required for the digital TV/Freeview box to lock onto, the channels carried in that mux will be missing, resulting in channels missing on your Freeview. This then points to an aerial fault.
What is the difference between Freeview and Freesat?
Freeview is usually the simplest option, But Freesat offers much more choice. Freeview among newer TVs is usually already installed, taking away the need for additional boxes. Where as freesat has more channels to choose from. For more information on this check out our blog on this subject.
