ARB Antennas, a locally owned and operated family business based in Greystanes, has explained how a roof television antenna is assessed before a repair or a replacement is recommended, to help Sydney households understand what they are being quoted for.

Test the Signal First

A poor picture does not always mean the antenna has failed. Break-up, missing channels and a "no signal" message can come from the antenna, from the cable between the roof and the wall, from a wall plate or fly lead, or from an amplifier that has stopped working. Testing the signal before anything is replaced shows where the fault sits and avoids paying for parts that were never the problem.

ARB Antennas carries out TV antenna repairs and diagnostics alongside antenna supply and installation, so an existing system can be checked before any decision is made about replacing it.

What Gets Looked At

An assessment of a roof antenna generally covers four things: the antenna itself, including bent, broken or corroded elements and whether it is still pointing the right way; the mast and mounting, including rust and loose brackets; the cable run from the roof to the wall, including joins and weather damage; and the wall plates and connections inside the home.

Where one part has failed and the rest of the system is sound, a repair is often enough. Where the antenna, mounting and cabling have all deteriorated, replacing individual parts can leave the household with the same problem a few months later, and a new digital antenna installation Sydney homes can rely on is usually the more practical answer.

More TVs, More Demand on the Signal

The number of televisions in the home also matters. Adding sets in bedrooms or living areas divides the signal between more outlets, which can expose a marginal antenna that coped with a single TV. ARB Antennas installs additional TV points and fits amplifiers and boosters where the signal needs support, and sets up digital set-top boxes.
