Yet another fantastic sunny day and of course far too hot to work in, our 3rd call of the day was to install a new TV aerial at Brentwood and we were hoping the house was in the shade, and of course when we arrived it was midday and baking hot, one slight bonus was the property was a bungalow which meant we did not have to carry our triple ladder only one section.  Not so!  Of course after taking on section of the ladder and having a look at the roof I soon realised the only place to install a new TV aerial was on the gable end, so back to the van for the remaining 2 sections.  I soon fixed the small T&K wall bracket to the end gable wall and was happy with the fix; I fitted the 2 large u` bolts ready for the aerial.

We went back to the van and put a Facarro log-periodic w/b aerial on to an 8ft 1” ½ alloy mast and neatly taped it down 2/3 of the mast ready to drop into the T&K wall bracket.  At least we could run up the roof and drop the log into the brackets comfortably and tighten them up once I had electronically aligned the TV aerial.  The log as always performed very well, and I was pleased with the way it balanced all of the digital mux’s with good signal strength.  My customer now pleased with their new shinny aerial and mast asked I we could fit a satellite dish onto the aerial mast for their free-sat, “no problem at all” I replied and went to the van to make up a zone one mini dish.  We fixed the dish to the TV aerial mast and aligned it with my satellite meter and knowing I had a good line of sight I was extremely happy with the strength and quality readings of my satellite meter.

 We connected the twin satellite cable to the quod L.N.B and ran the TV aerial cable on top of it keeping it nice and neat and just one line.  We cut up a lashing wire and made small strips u shape to put under every 3rd tile keeping our cable run neat and secure.  I drilled a 16mm hole just behind the sitting room TV and we brought the cables in there out of sight and by the TV and free-sat receiver, once we had put an aerial coax plug on to the aerial cable and 2f` plugs onto the satellite cable I re-tuned the TV and re-tuned the Humax HD free-sat receiver.  As always fantastic pictures which people expect with www.andysaerials.com  I was delighted.  My customer knew how to operate their AV equipment so we cleared up and packed away our tools and by now keen to get back to the air-con of the van.  Next call another new TV aerial install Brentwood Essex so not far to travel.
