Aerials & Satellites

We provide a fast and friendly service for all your aerial and satellite installation needs in York and surrounding areas. We pride ourselves on neat and tidy work and all of our aerials are digital ready so you can enjoy Freeview and Freeview HD without any interference.

We fit compact TV, FM Radio, and DAB Radio aerials that look attractive on your property. Don’t be persuaded by others into thinking large and unsightly aerials are necessary, these big aerials are often cheap with plastic fittings that damage easily from a good winters weather here in Yorkshire! Our compact and digital ready aerials work best, and can improve the look of your property without compromising signal.

If your aerial is modern we “Meter Test” your existing signal to find out whether your aerial is already good enough for Freeview. You may simply need to re-tune your TV! We can fit replacement aerials to your existing bracket and mast to save you money or where necessary fit a complete array to your chimney or in a discreet position on your building for complete peace of mind.

We also fit standard satellite dishes for Freeview, Freeview HD, Sky, and Sky Q, in addition to specialist European satellite reception through a larger satellite dish and special satellite box, such as channels from France, Italy, Germany, Turkey etc. (Reception for each country can vary, please ask us for advice and availability.)

CCTV & Home Security

More and more people are having a small camera system fitted to the home. Where once the price for high quality was only available to the commercial sector or very wealthy individuals, nowadays the affordability is allowing every home to benefit from having CCTV cameras! You can have a simple one camera install, however if you need a complex commercial system we can help there too. No job too big or too small!

Our systems are from Hikvision, the largest and most reliable CCTV supplier worldwide. The cameras are very high quality and the recording box (DVR or NVR) second to none. All your cameras can be viewed and recordings played back on a smart phone, tablet or computer, or from the recorder directly with a connected monitor for complete flexibility.

If you are looking to have a system installed we will come and discuss your needs, look at the property you wish to look over and draw up a plan and a quote for you to explore. We take into account the style of cameras that will look best, the type of cable fitting required and type of recorder you may need. This is highly specialist so it’s important to get the right advice.

Smart Multi Room & Home Networking

Smart Multi Room means having the ability to watch a Smart TV or other Smart device in as many places as you want! Home Networking is often the distribution of both your aerial signal and internet service. The aerial signal carries all your standard freeview channels and then from your main router, either by hard wiring (Cat5 or Cat6 standard) or a WiFi hotspot, comes your subscription service such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV and others such services like BBC iPlayer, YouTube etc.

Children often want their own channels in their bedrooms and parents may prefer to have the option to watch different programmes at the same time, especially when the sport is on! Multi Room helps take the pressure off who’s watching what and when and with Catch-up TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and other on-line services widely available it’s important to know you have good WiFi as well everywhere in the house (or garden!) and even hard wired for extra stable connection.

To achieve these outcomes you require a modern aerial and distribution amplifier with cables to the reception points you want and decent internet connectivity where you’d like to access on-line services.

If you are planning to re-model your home such as re-wiring or you are building an extension to your house we can work with you and maybe your electrician in the early stages to plan the best way to achieve a neat and highly functional system.

Complex IRS & Communal Aerial

We provide full commercial support and installation for large commercial properties, ranging from multiple apartment blocks to Hotels or B&Bs.

Larger commercial properties will typically have a complex IRS consisting of a master array of aerial, satellite dish and radio antenna sent to a “Multi Switch”. This multi switch then distributes to all the rooms throughout the building with master outlet sockets and sub sockets providing all the reception needs to watch TV or connect a satellite receiver such as Sky.

Smaller properties such as B&Bs and HMOs may only require a communal aerial distribution. These systems often only require TV reception and a single feed to each room. This does still however require commercial level equipment and knowhow but is less expensive than an IRS system.

In both cases we can offer advice on a new complete installation and give a quote, fault find and repair (where possible) any issue with your current system or upgrade old components to new and fully Freeview HD able units.

We also can upgrade your existing system to accommodate Sky Q customers. Currently many IRS systems only support standard Sky HD recorder boxes. To receive Sky Q requires new equipment installing to the IRS system and then re-tested for signal integrity.

TV Wall Mounting

TV wall mounting gives back space to your room and looks stylish. We can supply brackets and fit all types and sizes of LCD TVs, Plasma TVs or Soundbars to your wall and get your aerial or satellite signal to the same point.

We are familiar with most brands of equipment, and we work in partnership with TV and HI-FI shops so we can advise on what types of equipment work best for you and the right look you may be going for in your home.
