Not all aerial installations are the same, a few minutes * exploring this site will prove that to you.
Even if you use some other installer time spent on this
site is still worthwhile as you will know what to ask before,
and what to check afterwards.
There is even a reasonable chance this site could tell you
that you don`t actually need any work doing at all !

Remember Every A.T.V Aerial Installation Uses :-
1 Digital approved aerials (Log / Yagi18 / XB )
2 Digital approved CT100 / H109 satellite grade cable
3 Digital approved screened amps or splitters (if required)
4 Alloy masts (1.25"x 16 gauge on all 6ft) for no rusting problems
5 Welded, galvanised brackets
For strength and no unsightly rust staining
Please note that we only install aerials around Sheffield, for installs out of our area see article on “Choosing An Aerial Installer”.
Why don`t you fit it yourself anyway ? All the information you need
to do the job is on this site, somewhere... If you buy the materials from us they`ll probably be better quality than those fitted by most aerial riggers anyway ! Don`t forget you can always hire the ladders,
though always take care, especially with roof ladders.
Before commencing any job ATV will undertake a (ground based)
site survey to confirm the customer actually needs the work doing. As an example, it is fairly common for an aerial job to end up being just a “set up” or a recable etc. We will only undertake work which is actually required by the customer. In addition we will confirm that the job is possible, e.g. does the customer have a realistic chance
of decent Digital television reception ?
Are there any height or access problems ? If the installation is
more than 25ft from the ground we would need (at additional charge)
a second man and a bigger ladder, if it is more than 33ft we would
not attempt it. Finally, are there any obstructions to the positioning
of the ladders, e.g. a conservatory, or bushes in the garden.
We haven`t got a flying carpet you know !
The cost of the site survey is included in the price of any job which is undertaken there and then.
The site survey is chargeable if the customer does not have
any work done at the time or the job is not possible/practical.
“Why should I have to pay for being told that I don`t actually need any work doing ?” Those installers professing to do a “Free Call Out” are in an awkward position. Obviously no-
just pay the Site Survey Fee (other than access problems
preventing the job being done) are in all probability saving money !
Please note that inclement weather (particularly high winds) can occasionally prevent aerial installation work, this is particularly the case if the use of a roof ladder is involved.
Your understanding at such times is appreciated !

televisions themselves.

You can find out almost
anything about TV aerials somewhere on this site.
Why Is This Website
So Extensive ?
Well it`s partly because I`m a perfectionist, partly because
I`m artistic (or should that be autistic ?) and partly to
generate internet traffic.
But mainly it`s because I want this to be the best Aerials website on the internet. If you know a better one contact us, because I`d like to read it !
However, one of the reasons
the site is so comprehensive
is because we put all the information that we know
on here, so that we can find
it easily......
Yes, that`s right, we use it !
We are told that, apparently,
this site is quite amusing in places. I wouldn`t know about that, but the funniest bits are probably listed here.
