Aerials, Receptions and Viewing

Will my loft aerial work?

We do not recommend loft aerials, as being inside means the digital signal strength is reduced. They're also more susceptible to interference from the other electrical equipment within your home.

However, it is obviously worth trying before having an aerial survey carried out. If you do want to try this, make sure you buy the equipment on a sale or return basis from the retailer.

You might find that an indoor aerial does not receive the full range of channels.

We suggest you get in touch with the following organisations who can give you details of one or more members who operate in your area and guarantee their work:

• Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI)
• Registered Digital Installers (RDI)

A local installer will understand the circumstances and local geography in your area and suggest the best option available to you.
