TV Aerial & Satellite Re-Alignment
Storms and high winds can knock a TV aerial or satellite dish off course. Trusted Digital Services realigns aerials and satellite dishes in this situation, so your reception can recover.
Picture breaking up, channels disappearing or a TV showing no signal are all common signs of a problem. If your dish or aerial looks like it has shifted, have it checked rather than adjusting it yourself. Getting it back to the right angle by eye is hard, and it is best left to someone with the right tools and experience.
Why Storms and High Winds Can Move Your Aerial or Dish
An aerial or satellite dish sits on a bracket, and its fixings take the strain when the wind picks up. Strong winds put real pressure on the equipment. Once the equipment moves out of position, it no longer receives the signal properly. Reception problems can come and go, or affect some channels more than others. A dish that looks tilted, an aerial that has moved or cables hanging loose are all signs to look out for.
Storms can also damage brackets and cables, so the fault is not always a simple shift in position. Wind can move a dish in ways that are not obvious from the ground, so a picture that has changed after bad weather is worth checking even if the equipment still looks upright. Avoid climbing onto a roof or leaning on a dish to move it yourself.
How We Realign and Refit Your Equipment
After a recent storm, a customer’s satellite dish came off the wall and was hanging by its cables. We refitted it on new brackets and checked the LNB and cables for damage. We realigned equipment that had moved and secured it again, fitting new brackets where they are needed. Realignment is the first option where the equipment is still sound, so we check what can be put right before anything is replaced.
When Replacement Equipment is Needed
Sometimes the damage is too severe for realignment. If the existing aerial, dish or associated equipment cannot be put back into service, Trusted Digital Services carries a full range of replacement supplies and equipment to get you up and running again.
That means you are not left with a damaged installation that still affects your reception. Whether the job is a realignment or a replacement, the aim is the same: a secure installation and a working signal.
If you are in Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot or Llanelli and your reception has changed after high winds, we can take a look at your aerial or satellite dish. Tell us what you have noticed, including which channels are affected and when the problem started, as this helps when he checks the equipment.
