In 2013, Australia's last remaining analogue TV transmitters were switched off. Nowadays, all Australian free-to-air television is only available on digital televisions or by using a digital set-box on an analogue TV.
The switch to digital television has brought Australians a wider range of channels, in brighter, high definition, and this has definitely made life more entertaining. But in order to receive a high-quality picture, it is necessary to connect an HD antenna to your HDTV. If you are a DIY expert, you will probably want to try to save your money and install your antenna on your own. However, installing a digital antenna is more than just sticking it on your roof.
According to Melbourne antenna installation specialists, the region and the location of your home are the main factors that will determine, the type and size of antenna you need and which direction it should be facing. When it comes to installation, the antenna needs to be at the right height and at the right angle as well. Once the antenna is installed, the proper connectors and cables will need to be plugged in. Connecting the right cables is just as important as having the right antenna.
If you want your digital antenna to transmit your favourite shows consistently, regardless whatever the weather condition, you should consider hiring a Melbourne antenna installation expert to install your antenna for you. An antenna works by receiving and relaying signal from transmission towers to the TV set. An expert will ensure that your TV antenna receives and transmits video and audio signals at a proper frequency.
There are various transmission towers in Melbourne and each of them may require a different type of antenna. This means you can't simply go to the local store and pick up the first antenna you see and expect it to work perfectly. Each tower transmits signals on different frequencies and polarisation, and an expert will ensure you make the correct choice.
Even if you are simply replacing your antenna, your existing location/pole may not be the best for your new antenna. New buildings and mature trees may have changed the environment and a fresh site survey for good signal strength and quality signal may be required – another task you should leave the experts to do for you.
More and more people are installing a digital antenna to their homes to reduce or even eliminate expensive satellite and cable TV bills. If you too are looking to cut back on your cable TV bills, choose a reputable and trusted Melbourne antenna installation company that will provide you with a high-quality antenna equipment and service to ensure you obtain high-quality visuals.
