The best TV Aerial to use in Preston we would say is the Unix 52 or the periodic Loga. These are the best 2 by far as they are fantastic for domestic and commercial systems like IRS tv systems across the Preston postcode area.

Best Aerials Preston

First things first, I recommend finding your optimum local transmitter using the postcode checker on this site. http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/industry/About_DTT/The_postcode_coverage_checker.

This can’t be relied upon 100% but will tell you everything you need to know about the transmitters in Preston with most likely selection, such as Frequencies, future frequencies and amount of channels that this transmitter broadcasts. For example, the transmitter may only broadcast Freeview Lite in Preston which is about half the channels. In this case, it may be beneficial to use another transmitter that maybe be a bit further away or weaker in your area.

High Gain Aerials Preston

High Gain TV Aerials Preston are for use in areas where there is a poor TV signal, i.e. in the remote countryside areas or where there is something blocking your path to the transmitter e.g. a hill or buildings in Preston. The aerials are much bigger in construction so as to catch more of the signal available and concentrate it down.

Some, such as the Televes DAT HD TV Aerial even contain a built-in amplifier to boost weak signals so that you get the best possible signal in Preston available to you. If you can’t get a signal with one of these high gain TV aerials Preston, odds are you’re not likely to be able to get one!

If you live in a very remote or bad signal area in Preston aerial installation Preston would advise you to get your signal from a satellite instead. All the channels that are available on Freeview are readily available on Freesat and reception is almost guaranteed anywhere! As long as you have the right equipment, a satellite dish and a receiver you can pick up channels all over the Preston. Alternatively, browse our Freesat self-install kits which come complete with all equipment needed to set up your Freesat TV.

Freeview Aerials Preston

Put my new Aerial In the loft or the roof? My existing old aerial is in the loft and works ok to say it is in Preston. The roof tiles and any metal in the roof construction will attenuate (reduce) the signal it receives by at least half. T

here is also some loss of signal due to the fact the higher you can mount the aerial the better the signal it will receive. So, despite it costing more to have an aerial on the roof (primarily due to the fact I won’t install it on the roof, but I would in the loft!) I’m ideally going for the roof for the best signal I can get for my aerial in Preston.

Aerial Type in Preston

At aerials Preston we get asked if there is such a thing as a digital aerial? Well, the contentious question with some. An aerial that will give you the best chance of receiving a good digital tv signal is a Group W or wideband aerial (picks up channels 21-68) ideally one with a high gain and possibly with a masthead (i.e. at the aerial) mounted amplifier for the aerials in Preston.

Installation

As I said my first choice is a roof-mounted aerial for Preston. I don’t possess any ladders and whilst I’m OK with heights I don’t fancy falling off my roof for the cause of an HTPC build. So, I phoned around for parts and labour costs for ‘Freeview’ aerial installs in Preston. Whilst I’m not a cheapskate my initial reaction to the pricing was “you’re joking!”.

The prices varied from £100-£190 for parts and installation plus VAT from a sample poll of 8 companies in Preston. The aerial to be installed was anything from a basic 15 element wideband aerial up to a 52 element high gain wideband aerial.

Freeview Installation Preston

Although looking at aerial pricing it shouldn’t make much more than £20 difference whether you get a basic or high gain aerial. I asked how long a typical aerial install takes and was told 1 hour. This means that an aerial installer is charging up to £80 an hour. Not quite up there with a lawyer, but close!
