Frequently Asked Questions

TV signal loss can result from several factors including damaged aerials, loose or faulty cables, interference from nearby electronics, or adverse weather conditions. Environmental changes such as new buildings or trees can also block or reflect signals, degrading reception quality over time.

Most modern TVs have a built-in signal strength meter. You can access it through the TV's settings or tuning menu. Look for terms like 'Signal Strength' or 'Signal Quality.' These readings can help determine if the aerial is delivering adequate reception or if there's a potential fault in the system.

Pixelation or freezing on digital TV is usually caused by a weak or unstable signal. This can occur due to misaligned aerials, damaged cables, or interference from electrical devices. Weather conditions and low-quality splitters can also introduce problems that affect signal consistency.

Signal strength can often be improved by installing an aerial in a higher position, using a signal amplifier, or replacing old or damaged cables. A professional installer can test your reception and recommend tailored solutions such as distribution amplifiers or repositioning the aerial for optimal performance.

Losing Freeview channels is often linked to poor or unstable signals, outdated TV firmware, or interference. Retuning your TV might help, but if channels regularly disappear, it's likely a sign of a reception issue that may require aerial adjustment, cable checks, or signal amplification.

Local Expertise

Looking for reliable TV reception in Dartford? Our local engineers provide daily coverage across Dartford, Crayford, Greenhithe, Stone, Wilmington, Darenth and nearby Gravesend, keeping your home entertained without the hassle. Most properties here are best served by the Crystal Palace transmitter for London programming, while many households prefer Bluebell Hill for Kent news. In some river-facing or valley locations, especially toward Gravesend, coverage can be helped by local relay support.

The area’s mix of valleys around the River Darent, tree cover near Joydens Wood, and taller buildings by the town centre and the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge can cause signal reflections and dropouts. Correct aerial choice, precise alignment and quality cabling make all the difference, ensuring stable Freeview with minimal pixelation.

We handle everything: aerial installation, repairs, upgrades, Freeview retuning, satellite dish installation, TV wall mounting and multi-room setups. After a thorough on-site survey, we’ll recommend the right aerial for Crystal Palace or Bluebell Hill, fit LTE/5G filters where needed, and optimise your system for the strongest, cleanest signal.
