Boosting the Signal from Your Aerial
If you have poor TV signal in your home, there are ways that you can boost the signal so that you get better reception and can watch TV with a clear and crisp picture.

The best way to boost the signal to your TV is to get in touch with an aerial installations company who can fit a booster aerial or a signal amplifier to your home. This will ensure that the signal is much better than it was previously and means that your freesat or freeview signal will be stronger giving you a much clearer picture on your TV. TV aerial fitters can also rewire your TV aerial with a quality shielded cable so that the picture is less likely to be snowy or distorted.

There are television aerial signal amplifiers that you can fit yourself, but in order to ensure the best picture quality for your TV, it’s best to contact a TV aerial specialist who can use top of the range equipment for testing and can fit the most suitable amplifiers of aerial boosters in your property. There are also specialist aerials that are more efficient for digital TV, freeview and freesat, so you could speak to your aerial fitters about this.
Of course, the best option would be to switch to satellite or cable TV. Satellite dish installers can help by attaching a quality satellite dish to your home, which can then be used either for freesat or for paid satellite TV services such as Sky TV.
If you have tried various ways of boosting the signal and you are still having trouble, it may be that the aerial cables or aerial sockets in your home are damaged or aren’t working at all. In this case, you will need to talk to an aerial installations company to diagnose the problem and fix it for you. New cables and sockets are inexpensive to fit, so cost shouldn’t be a problem, but to be sure get a few quotes first from local TV aerial specialists. That way there won’t be any surprises.
Something else to check is that you are receiving all channels. After the digital change over, you need to reset your set top box, whether it is satellite, cable TV, freesat or freeview, and this will allow the box to rescan for channels. This should be done every few months anyway to ensure that you are receiving any new channels, as new channels are added all the time.
Another cause for poor TV reception could be a damaged aerial. If your aerial has been in place for many years, it could be damaged or just worn, so you may need a new aerial fitted to your property. All of these options are inexpensive, and could mean that you can be sat watching a crystal clear picture rather than trying to make out what’s going on among the crackly picture!
