What makes a reliable Freeview aerial setup?
Every part of the system matters. A good aerial with poor cable or a loose connector will still cause problems.
A suitable digital aerial
Chosen for the transmitter, distance and signal at your address rather than one size for every home.
Correct alignment
Pointed accurately at the right transmitter so every multiplex is received.
Sound coaxial cable
Good quality cable that keeps the signal strong all the way to the TV.
Secure connections
Properly fitted and sealed connectors that do not let water in.
Signal quality testing
Strength and quality measured, not just whether a picture appears.
Correct tuning
Televisions and boxes retuned and checked once the work is done.
Installation or repair?
New Freeview aerial
Usually the right choice when:
- There is no working aerial at the property
- The old aerial is damaged, rusted or unsuitable
- Moving to Freeview from another service
- Several repairs have not solved the problem
Aerial repair
Often enough when:
- The aerial worked well until recently
- The problem started after wind or rain
- Only one room is affected
- A cable, socket or connector looks damaged
Retuning is not always the answer
Missing channels and a breaking-up picture are often blamed on tuning. A retune can help after transmitter changes, but it will not fix a weak signal, a moved aerial or a damaged cable.
Testing the signal at the aerial and at the television shows where the problem is. If the existing setup is sound, a retune may be all you need. If not, the engineer can explain what needs to change.
What affects the cost of Freeview aerial installation?
There is no single price for every home. The cost depends on the aerial needed, how it is mounted, access to the roof or chimney, the length of the cable route and the condition of the existing equipment.

The aerial is fitted, cabled and every TV checked.
Freeview in more than one room
Freeview can be shared to bedrooms, kitchens and extensions, but every split reduces the signal available to each television. The aerial and any amplifier need to be planned for the number of rooms, not just the main TV.

Freeview aerial installation FAQs
Do I need a special aerial for Freeview?
Freeview needs a suitable digital aerial pointed at the right transmitter. The best type depends on your location, the signal at the property and nearby obstructions, which is why the signal is tested first.
Can a new aerial fix missing Freeview channels?
It can, if the current aerial is unsuitable, damaged or badly aligned. Sometimes realignment, new cable or a retune is enough, so the cause is checked before a new aerial is recommended.
Can you tune my TV after installing a Freeview aerial?
Yes. Televisions and Freeview boxes can be retuned and checked once the aerial work is complete.
Can you repair my existing Freeview aerial instead?
Often, yes. If the aerial is secure and suitable, a repair may be the better option. See the TV aerial repairs page for the fault-finding service.
How long does Freeview aerial installation take?
Many installations are completed in a single visit. The time depends on access, the mounting position and the cable route.
How much does Freeview aerial installation cost?
The price depends on the aerial, access, mounting position, cable route and the condition of the existing equipment. A free quote is provided before agreed work begins, and there is no call out charge.
Can I get Freeview in more than one room?
Yes. Extra TV points can be planned with the installation, but the signal needs to be strong enough to share between rooms.
Do you offer same-day Freeview aerial installation?
Same-day attendance may be available where possible. Call or WhatsApp your postcode for current local appointment options.
Why does my Freeview picture break up in bad weather?
A marginal signal, a moved aerial or water in a cable joint can all cause break-up in wind or rain. Testing shows whether the aerial, cable or alignment needs attention.
