"Jeffery moved into his new home in Southport Gold Coast and quickly found out he couldn't get any TV reception on all of his TV's. They either showed a heavily pixilating TV channel or the dread "weak or no signal, check TV antenna" message. When we arrived we found that the home had basically been wired for primarily watching Foxtel and the TV aerial system was very old and not in working order. Instead of paying over $1000 a year for Foxtel Jeffery decided to get a new TV antenna system installed. We replaced the TV Antenna, installed a new booster (because his Southport home wasn't receiving enough signal due to buildings blocking the line of sight), replaced some of the coax cabling, the splitter and the TV wall plates."
5 Things that can need replacing in an antenna system that's aged and why.
- The antenna. Although most antennas are made out of aluminium which doesn't rust, the critical part which transmits the signal into the coax cable often does and so every 10 years or so you may need a new antenna.
- The splitter. Over time the splitters (splits the antenna signal from one cabling attached to the TV antenna into multiple coax cables for each TV outlet) tend to corrode and lose more and more TV reception signal.
- The cabling. With rare exception we find the cabling that runs through the walls and ceiling are normally okay for 20+ years but the coax cabling that's been exposed on the roof nearly always gets weathered and needs changing when a new antenna is installed in Southport Gold Coast?
- The connectors. Often the metal connectors that connect the coax cable to the wall plates and splitter corrode over time and can reduce the TV antenna signal a little bit.
- The wall plates. Rusty, corroded wall plates can often cause significant TV aerial signal loss and form a loose connection to your antenna cable that runs to your TV in Southport Gold Coast. It's always a good idea to change these too when doing TV reception repair work.
A real-life example from today, 19th February 2018 follows:
"Penelope from Southport Gold Coast was having trouble getting good TV antenna reception on just one of her TV outlets in her home and called TV Magic out to have a look. What we found was the TV reception was quite good on all of her other TV aerial outlets but the one she was having trouble with. After confirming this fact we removed the TV wall plate and found the connector and wall plate where rusty and corroded. We replaced her TV signal reception wall plate and connector and the TV aerial signal was great. Penelope was really happy it was a quick cheap fix."
