Hints and Tips

Hints and Tips
on Aerial, Satellite, CCTV 
and much more.

We Get Asked So Many Questions

We get asked so many questions to do with aerial services, TVs, satellite and dishes, CCTV, caging to protect birds etc.... so we thought it would be fun to have a hints and tips page that we add to regularly! We hope you enjoy it! 
Can you improve my WiFi?

Yes! With our new additions to your wireless network we can improve the reach and the performance of your existing hub.  We've been getting great results all round.

Can you hang a TV on a stud partition wall?

It is always better to get a professional to hang your TV on the wall. We can tell where the best place to take the weight is and also how to hide the wires. You can actually hang a TV on most walls if you know what you are doing, which we do.

Do birds really nest in chimney pots?

They certainly do...  we find them nestled up there quite a lot, often with young in the nest. The best thing to do, once the nest has cleared, is to fit our caging which protects both your property and the birds, who can injury themselves on aerials, solar panels and other roof top hazards. They will find trees to nest in instead.

Is it possible to fit a TV outside?

We have fit a lot of TV's outside in gardens and pub beer gardens this year, and in out houses, garden rooms and men sheds too! With the right steps they are safe from water and work brilliantly. Because of the advent of the pandemic and outdoors being safer, it has become very in vogue. We suspect next year, with more sport such as the World Cup, a lot more people / pubs will want them too.

Can you fix my Sky TV?

There's lots of problems we can help with to fix your Sky - if your problem is your dish or your cabling, we are your guys. You can bypass waiting on the phone for hours then waiting for an engineer - we can replace and update what is needed. The only thing we can't fix or supply is a SkyQ box.

My CCTV Recorder is Noisy

We recently discovered that most CCTV recorder boxes have an internal switch to turn off the noisy fan. If you are struggling with a whirring noise, give us a shout!

Why would I hang my TV on the wall?

Wall hung TV's are becoming more and more popular due to a number of reasons:

- It is out of the way of the kids and animals

- No hand or nose prints

- Less risk of spillages

- Frees up floor space as no bulky TV stand needed


Do you fit foreign satellite?

Yes. We can help with most foreign satellite wishes. We will be fitting a french one soon, we think, so a customer can enjoy his french horse racing!
