Reception Problems in Narre Warren
We have many years’ experience with improving reception and TV antenna repairs in Narre Warren. Our knowledge of the area helps us diagnose the reason for the reception troubles and how to fix them. If you are experiencing poor TV reception, it may be caused by a number of factors.
Age of the TV Antenna
As antennas get older, the signal strength and quality can be reduced. Poor reception may result from this lack of signal. Some antennas can be revamped and provide great reception once again. But it depends on its present condition. We find some old antennas are just not worth the time and expense to repair them.
Damaged TV Antennas
A storm or strong wind can easily damage or knock over a TV antenna. Birds can bend or break the elements of the antenna. Reception is often lost as a result. If the antenna is intact and only has minor damage, we can usually perform a repair. However, a badly broken antenna will likely have to be replaced.
Reception Conditions
The digital TV signal strength and quality in your area will determine how good your reception is. Luckily, Narre Warren tends to be relatively good. Most people will not suffer from poor signals. But there are some difficult parts that have less signal strength due to the terrain. In these cases, the antenna may need to be adjusted or the signal may have to be boosted.
No matter the reason for your reception problems, we can check it out. For assistance with improving your reception, give us a call on 9705 1525.
Digital Reception Interference
Most digital reception problems are the result of a faulty TV antenna system. Although some people assume the television is the cause, this is very rarely the case. There are several types of digital interference to look out for. All of them suggest there is a fault with the TV antenna and it likely needs a repair.
- A Pixelating TV Picture: The picture can break up and display black pixels in a block or tiled pattern.
- Distorted Audio: The audio can drop out briefly, be clipped, be out of sync, start clicking, or sound robotic.
- No Signal Sign: Televisions can lose the broadcast station, have a black or blue background, and display a sign saying, “Weak or No Signal – Check Antenna”.
These problems can present themselves on some or all channels. They can also be intermittent. In most cases, these problems are due to the television receiving a weak or poor quality digital signal.
As any part of the antenna system might be the source of the signal problem, it can be hard to pinpoint the fault. Our technicians use test equipment to identify the fault within the TV antenna system and repair it. For help solving your digital reception problems, give us a call on 9705 1525.
