What is effecting your aerial signal?

Sometimes however the issue may not be so simple to resolve, below are just some of the usual causes that can affect your Freeview signal. 

 

 

If you notice your tv signal changes depending on the season then you may have tall trees blocking the signal. The expensive solution is to remove/trim the tree or the offending leaves from aerials line of sight. This sometimes is simply not a solution in which case an indoor aerial with a built-in signal amplifier would solve the issue. 

 

 

Many of us have experienced a pixellated TV show or perhaps no signal to the TV at all as a result of bad weather. In extreme weather conditions, the elements can actually physically damage your satellite dish and it can certainly disrupt your satellite signal. Heavy snow conditions can also cause large build-ups of snow on your dish. This can result in the satellite dish becoming misaligned and you losing your signal altogether. 

 

 

If you’ve been suffering from persistently bad TV signal, it may be that your outdoor aerial is damaged. Bad weather conditions can severely affect the aerial in the long-term. Modern TV aerials are built to last and you can expect a good quality antenna to last between ten to twenty years. Poor weather conditions in the UK can limit an aerial’s lifespan though. 

 

 

One of our most popular broadbands is Starlink.

It is extremely reliable, extremely simple to install and most importantly extremely speedy and cost effective! The service is now live in parts of Somerset, so at County Aerials, our experts can do your Starlink installation for you, to make sure your remote property is receiving the best and stress-free broadband possible. Starlink satellites are offer a discrete dish and cabling, so the only way you’ll notice Starlink broadband being there, will be your improved broadband! Alternatively, Starlink can be injected into your current network or WIFI setup, so there’s no need for a break in your current contract. The more popular Starlink becomes, the better the broadband! - they are launching more satellites, installing more ground stations and improving their networking software and speed. The service is still in beta. During beta, users can expect to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms in most locations over the next several months as they enhance the Starlink installation. There will also be brief periods of no connectivity at all.
