Diagnosis and repair of poor TV signal, pixelation, missing channels and intermittent Freeview reception across Glasgow.

Diagnosis and repair of poor TV signal, pixelation, missing channels and intermittent Freeview reception across Glasgow. We test the existing system first and explain the sensible repair or installation options before approved work begins.

Poor reception can be caused by too little signal, too much amplification, damaged cable, loose connectors, aerial movement or faults in splitters and distribution equipment. The symptom at the television may look the same, which is why adding a booster without testing can sometimes make reception worse rather than better.
First Aerials checks signal strength and quality and follows the system from the aerial through the cable route to the affected TV points. That allows the fault to be narrowed down before parts are changed.
Where reception is marginal, the best improvement may be aerial position, alignment, cable replacement or correcting a poor connection rather than fitting an amplifier. In multi-room systems we also check how the signal is being divided. Once the cause is identified, we can recommend the simplest practical fix and confirm reception after the work.
Measure signal strength and quality to find the cause rather than fitting a booster automatically.
Check aerial alignment, tuning, cabling and distribution equipment when expected Freeview channels disappear.
Trace weather-related faults, loose connections, water ingress and ageing aerial components.
New and replacement digital TV aerial systems.
Fault finding for damaged or unreliable aerial systems.
Freesat dish installation, alignment and reception help.
The cost depends on access, aerial type, mounting hardware, cable route and whether distribution equipment is required. We assess the job and provide a clear quote before approved work begins.
Yes. We test the aerial system, cabling, connections and signal quality to identify whether repair, realignment or replacement is the sensible option.
Yes. We work with terrestrial Freeview aerial systems and satellite-based Freesat installations, including new installations, alignment and fault finding.
Yes. We can design additional TV points and multi-room distribution while checking that the available signal is suitable for splitting or amplification.
