Storm Damage? Wind Damage? Rusted? We can sort it out

Aerials are manufactured to differing standards this shows up in the price, the mechanical construction and it’s electromagnetic performance.
The aerial has to receive a number of different signals from the required transmitter in an even manner, it has to reject unwanted signals from the side and back as they would cause interference and could ‘swamp’ the wanted signals.
All of this becomes even more important when you want digital reception. A digital aerial is manufactured slightly differently and makes use of a balun.
In all cases good quality aerials and cable are the best bet!

Will an analogue aerial work a digital set top box (Freeview)? Yes and No - It will if the received signals are clean and above a certain threshold and the analogue signal and digital signals are balanced.
In practice this means if you normally have trouble free reception (a good channel 5 is an excellent indicator) you can just plug in and view. In a lot of cases this is what happens. When using digital if freezing and blocking or sound problems occur, then you would benefit from a professionally installed digital aerial.

Well I’ve got a good Channel 5, I bought a Freeview box and can only watch some of the channels, so why is that?
This is where the signal balancing comes in, the analogue signals have to be in a certain range and the digital signals also have to be in a certain range, this is when using the correct aerial really matters, cable and connections are also very important. Double screened quality cable should be used in one run, no joints and good connections. This should go straight to the set top box or IDTV and any other equipment, splitters or extensions later in the chain

I can’t get channel 5, does this mean no Freeview?
Not necessarily, you may be receiving from a relay with no digital. It may be possible to fit a new digital aerial and pick up from the nearest digital transmitter or possibly your local relay carries digital but not Channel 5. Professional local knowledge and advice is what’s needed.
