O/T: TV aerials

[Box of Frogs]

I get pretty poor reception with my analogue aerial maiking BBC1, BBC2, ITV and C4 unwatchable sometimes. There appears to be a rectangular metal bit of the aerial that is broken and rattling around in the wind. I also get a fair bit of pixellation on my Sky channels so I guess that means the Sky dish needs re-aligning?

I guess any company will now say the analogue aerial needs to be replaced with a digital aerial but that would be fine as it would mean the built in Freeview on my TV would now work so I could watch that while recording a Sky channel.

Can anyone recommend a reliable company that serves the Eastbourne area to have a look at/replace the analogue aerial (and maybe re-align the Sky dish too)?

Rod Hull used to do that sort of work.

Think there's a few on here, keep a look out to see if they respond to this thread.

BBC1 and ITV1 are unwatchable at the best of times.

Company near me in Brighton that have been around for years & i have used them, Try 625 Ariels.

Try 625 Ariels.

ONE would be enough surely. It just needs to be pointed in the right direction.

(but then I realised what poor taste this was in)

Try 625 Ariels.

All you need now is another 622.

There is no such thing as a digital aerial.

Exactly , you just need an aerial that will pick up a digital signal.

Until he slipped , maybe he would have been able to grab something as he fell instead of Emu insisting on giving him a hand.

It would be best to get the aerial replaced and then you could watch the channels on Freeview. With pixellation on Sky that would suggest the dish needs to be realigned and/or the lnb also replaced , make sure that the engineer uses a signal meter to get the optimum signal/quality.
