Aerial Installation- The First Step to Great TV

By James Sollis


As there are plenty of options surrounding aerial installation, you have to decide the best type of aerial for your needs or usage. Certain types are capable of obtaining signals over a broader area, and others are specifically designed for signals in the local area. If you can understand the differences between the two, this will help you to select the right solution for your requirements.

A standard one, used most often is the Yagi aerial. The Yagi installation is mounted to a pole which consists of a reflector and a rod. The connecting cable is attached to the element near a reflector, also known as the "driver". The Yagi installation method is used to capture signals from the orientation or direction of the rod. A disadvantage of this type of installation is that it does not receive all transmission frequencies.

The Digital High Gain is an aerial for areas that don't have very good quality digital reception. This installation requires two reflectors at the back. They may need as many as 100 elements. It can be a little on the expensive side, but may be the only option in areas where it is difficult to get good reception.

Still another choice is Loft Mounted aerials, which are best used for analogue signals, but not recommended for Free-view signals. It is possible that your plumbing vents or roof tiles can interfere with signal quality. A satellite grade cable which connects your box to the aerial installation can help you to get the best signal quality.

Selecting the correct aerial is important in any aerial installation; most installers will be able to recommend the one that suits your needs. Certain aerials work well in some locations and others may not. Educate yourself on your requirements to assist your decision with respect to your aerial installation.
