New Antenna Installed Clontarf

23/4/2018

Obviously when you get an Antenna professional out to your home to install or replace a TV antenna, you expect them to install good quality equipment and make sure you have good TV reception at all outlets. This just seems like a given.

However... We've noticed that the quality of antenna installations is sometimes just downright terrible. It's almost like the installers have completely forgotten about safety, endurance and aesthetics. We are often fixing up antennas that are suffering from nothing more than poor installation.

Some things to look for and EXPECT as standard from your antenna installer are:

Neatly arranged cable (cable tied in place to the mast)
Extra length of cable neatly looped on mast (this allows for enough cable in the event that your antenna needs replacing or new connectors need fitting)
Good quality parts (connectors, mast, screws)
Quality silicone used to seal mounting plates or other areas that may result in water seepage

Making sure your antenna installer covers these points along with quality antenna, RG6 cable and confirmation that your signal levels meet Australian standards (using a signal meter), you should have no problems with your antenna.

If you've had a dodgy antenna installation - give us a call, we'll help you get it sorted.

I get so many questions and calls from customers who just want some help or advice relating to their audio visual technology. I thought it would be a good idea to start capturing some of the common questions and try to provide an online resource for people to get information. So, I hope that you will find some of the information contained in these articles useful. I will try to add as many new relevant subjects as possible to keep you all in the know. I really do want to make AV easy for you too.
