Scan For Channels
The next thing a TV aerial installaller will do after putting up the antenna is to connect the coax to your TV. Then, the technician will take your remote and program the unit to receive the channels.
One way to calibrate your TV to the broadcast signals is to ‘scan for channels’. This way, you can get timely updates and know which channels you’re supposed to get and which ones aren’t.
Check the Connections
Aerial hardware sometimes dictates how you’re getting the broadcast of a particular channel. That said, it pays to check the integrity of your coax cable and ensure that it’s properly attached to your TV.
It’s important to have a professional aerial installer, such as TVaerialinstaller.co.uk handle outdoor cable connection matters for safety reasons. If you’re losing signal constantly and think it’s the antenna cables outside, schedule a service appointment right away.
Do a Visual on Your Antenna
Last but not the least, you will want to view your antenna to see if it has bent or been damaged. To do this, you will want to step outside your house and check the roof to make sure it’s still in proper shape.
An aerial that’s pointed in the wrong direction will surely cause you problems. There are antenna point apps you can use to verify that you’re getting all the programming in your local area. You can also contact mikeharrisaerialandsatellite for professional aerial check-ups.
