New Tv Aerial Installation Chelmsford Www.andysaerials.com             We were called last week by a contractor who required a new TV aerial installation Chelmsford Essex, only fitting a TV aerial to a flat roof without fixings. Other TV aerial company’s had quoted for the work but did not have any solutions for the installation, only offering penetrative fixings to the side of the new building, which was not acceptable to our customer. I ordered a tripod ground mount which could easily be transported up the narrow roof access enclosed ladder, and through the roof access hatch. We took some signal test reading using our test aerial and spectrum analyser. The signal was good, balanced and our log-periodic aerial would be perfect, as we did not wish to use a large aerial with deflector plates, which would catch the wind more. The log being streamlined and incredibly light was the perfect choice for our new TV aerial installation Chelmsford, as well as being discreet and soft on the eye. We drilled three engineering breezeblocks, and fitted the nylon mungos one the ground ready to take up to the roof where we was to assemble the tripod flat roof aerial mount, which pieced together easily. Carrying the heavy breezeblocks one at a time to the roof we soon had the tripod mount ready to receive our new TV aerial.

We electronically aligned the Fracarro log-periodic aerial to Crystal Palace London using our spectrum analyser, this signal was the best choice, at good signal strength, quality and all digital mux’s were nice and square, just how we like them. We fitted a masthead pre amp, to ensure a fantastic signal arrived at the ground perfectly, with just a little kick before entering the distribution amplifier. Once on the ground floor we identified the aerial feed cable from the other aerial cables, and tested it to confirm the signal was still of good quality, which it was. We found our customer’s other cables and terminated them with F’ plugs ready for fitting to the distribution amplifier. We secured the distribution amplifier to the wall of our customer’s plant room as requested, and connected the aerial feed to the distribution amplifier so we could test the output of the amp, to ensure the output to the TV sockets was perfect, which it was. We started clearing away our tools and waste and headed to our van for our next call of the day which was another New TV Aerial installation Chelmsford, not too far to travel!
