Installation Quality

Having your TV Aerial installation carried out by a competent person is probably the most important particularly if it's a repair job. If the engineer doesn't know what he's doing, it could end up costing you more in unnecessary equipment, for example, you may just need a new part like cable or socket rather than a whole new TV Aerial.

And of course, you need someone who is certified by Health and Safety Executive approved training agency to work at heights and who use the proper safety equipment such as a harness and fall arrest.

Reception Quality

This can change from one are to another and therefore, if you live in a poor reception area, it is important that the equipment is of a good quality to pick up the signal.
