New TV Aerial Chelmsford

Saturday afternoon and thankfully the weather has cooled off a little but very muggy and horrid to work in.  our last call was a new TV aerial in Chelmsford, when we arrived I chatted with our customers who wanted a new aerial and a couple of points, once I say they were subscribing to Sky I suggested putting an ir digital amp in the loft and distributing my digital aerial signal and the Sky signal so both Sky and Free-View could be viewed at any of the TV aerial points in the house.  We got out ladders off and set-up at the front of the house, roof climbing ladder had to be used to get to the chimney stack as the roof was slate, although you can walk on a slate roof it is not advised as it breaks easy and can be slippy under foot.  With the ladders in place I made my way to the chimney stack carrying a large chimney cradle and lashing kit while my collegue started assembling a log-periodic w/b aerial to an eight foot inch and a half alloy mast.

With the chimney now lashed with a substantial heavy duty chimney bracket we were read to insert the log-periodic w/b aerial, the log brought in all 6 digital mux’s evenly at 45db which is a lovely signal and we had no need for amplification.  We ran the aerial coax cable down to the sitting room Sky+ box and fitted a new fly-lead to the TV and reset the TV and re-tuned it admiring our flawless pictures.  We next ran an up-link cable from the Sky+ box to the loft where we fitted a remote powered Sky amp.  The loft was heavily insulated so it was time for suiting up and getting the face mask out as loft insulation is dusty and extremely itchy!

We ran our 1st cable from the loft to the kitchen and fitted a Sky eye so the Sky box could be remote controlled from the bedroom, we next moved our ladders to the gable end and neatly drilled a 10mm hole and ran our 2nd cable to the kitchen, again we fitted a Sky-eye so the kitchen TV could benefit from being able to remote control the Sky+ box in the sitting room.  We started packing away and we had a lot of kit out to put back on the van.  We cut the old aerial down into small pieces and bagged all the rubbish which had accumulated, mainly old aerial cable.  I wrote our bill and guarantee and thanked our customer’s for a constant supply of drinks and set off home eager to light the bbq!
