TV Antenna Installation & Repairs in Adelaide
Picture breaking up, channels missing or no signal? The Adelaide Team can test your reception, explain what is causing the fault, and talk you through repair or replacement options.
Find out why your TV reception is breaking up
Pixelation, freezing and missing channels can all point to a reception fault. If it happens on one TV, we can start by checking that set, its lead and the wall outlet. If several TVs are affected, we can look at parts they share, such as the antenna, cabling or splitter.
New antenna installations
We can install a digital TV antenna for a new home, shed or granny flat, or replace an aerial that has deteriorated. We look at reception at your property and plan the mounting position and cable run.
Extra TV points
We can check an outlet that has stopped working or discuss adding a TV point in another room. Tell us how many TVs you want connected so we can assess the setup as a whole.
Repair the existing antenna or replace it?
Start with a signal test. We can check signal strength and quality at the affected TV point and, where useful, compare it with readings elsewhere in the system. That helps narrow down whether the fault starts at the aerial or somewhere between the roof and your TV.
When a repair makes sense
A loose plug, deteriorated coax cable, damaged wall plate or faulty splitter can interrupt reception even when the aerial itself is still suitable. If there is an amplifier in the system, we can check whether it and its power supply are working. We explain what we find and which parts need attention.
When to consider a new antenna
A replacement can make sense when the aerial is damaged, corroded or unsuitable for the signal at your property. We can also assess the mounting position and direction. Nearby buildings, terrain and the cable run can affect the options available at your address.
New antennas and extra TV points
Building a home or adding a granny flat, shed or spare room? Tell us where you want to watch free-to-air TV and which outlets or cables are already in place. We can plan a new aerial, the cable route and the TV points together, or check whether an existing system can supply another room.
For a new installation, we discuss a suitable antenna and mounting position, connect the agreed outlets and check reception once the work is done. If you are renovating, get in touch while the wall or ceiling access is available so we can talk through cable routes.
What happens during a reception visit?
Tell us what you’re seeing
Let us know which channels are affected, whether it happens on one TV or several, and whether it started after a storm, renovation or move. If the fault comes and goes, note when you tend to see it.
Test the signal and explain the options
We can measure reception at the TV point and check relevant parts of the antenna system. If a repair is practical, we’ll explain what needs attention. If the aerial is damaged, unsuitable or worn out, we’ll discuss a replacement and what the installation involves.
Check the picture after the work
After completing the agreed work, we can check reception at the affected outlets and tune the TV as needed. Let us know if there are other rooms or outlets you want checked during the visit.
Before you book
Do I need a new antenna?
Dropouts can come from the antenna, a cable or an outlet. A reception check can help identify the source.
What should I tell you when I call?
Share your suburb, the channels affected, when the problem happens and whether it affects more than one TV.
Why do only some channels drop out?
Different channel groups can be affected differently by weak reception or a fault. Share the missing channels and when the problem occurs so the technician knows what to check.
Will retuning fix a no-signal message?
Retuning may help when the channel list is out of date. If a signal fault is affecting the outlet, the antenna system needs checking first.
Can you help if reception drops out in bad weather?
Yes. Tell us whether the picture breaks up in rain or wind and whether the issue affects all TVs. That gives us a starting point when checking the antenna system.
Can you install an antenna for a new home or granny flat?
Yes. Tell us about the property, how many TV points you need and whether any cabling is already in place.
