Perhaps you’ve just moved home or you’re looking for a replacement - having a fully functioning TV aerial is a must so you can continue to watch your favourite TV shows without a hitch. 

TV aerials can diminish over time meaning their signal can become weak depending on how much they are affected by the elements outsides. Storms and high winds can cause a great deal of damage to your TV aerial so you should bear this in mind when looking for your next one. 

Quality

Whilst it goes without saying, you pay for what you get. Buying a decent aerial will, in the long run, save you pounds rather than pennies, so it is best to do some research before you get going. 

Location

If you have just moved home it is best to check in the local area which way everyone’s aerial is facing so you can get the best possible signal for your home. Your TV aerial installation engineer will check this anyway for you but it’s good to keep this in mind.

Inside or Out?

Not everyone opts to have their aerial outside. Not only is it a little bit of an eyesore, especially if you have to get a fairly large one, but it can also risk getting damaged as mentioned before. 

However, by having your aerial installed inside you first have to decide where in your house to put it - this would preferably be in the loft or at the highest point in the house. Secondly, you would need to make sure your signal is great enough that it will penetrate through the walls. Having your aerial inside will weaken your signal as there is a barrier in the way so you may need to also consider and factor in the cost of a booster too.

This option doesn’t work in all homes so it is best to check first before you have your heart set on one. The same goes for having an aerial outside - you may need to check that you don’t need planning permission first!

Signal Strength

Of course, we all want the best signal possible, however, there are a few things you need to factor in before choosing your aerial. Think about how many TV’s you are planning to run off of your aerial. The more TV’s you have in your house, the lower the signal strength. When running more than one TV from your aerial you are splitting that signal between each one making the overall signal weaker. You may need to consider your aerial options if you are planning on doing this.

Setting Up

Setting up your aerial is no easy feat. From a range of different aerials available, additional boosters and not to mention the accuracy in the position, it can turn into a very costly endeavour if not approached correctly.
