What price for an aerial installation?
Friday 11 May 2012 9:51PM

Hello, hope someone can advise me. I have not long moved to SE2 area and freeview signal is very poor. Have the channels do not receive at all and there is a lot of interference. My neighbours were quick to point out that I would probably need to get the aerial sorted and pointing to Crystal Palace instead of its current Woolwich position. One said he paid £300 to have it done!! Is this accurate? Would I still need to purchase new aerial, cable etc or can the existing one be simply swung round the other direction? No way I can afford £300 nicker! Thanks

Thanks for the advice jb38 and Stephen P, never thought of re-tuning without the aerials in. Will let you know what happens, so frustrating.

Hi all, took your advice and re-tuned with aerials unplugged. Waited with baited breath but frustratingly still no improvement. Other than robbing the post office to acquire the £150-£300 cost of new aerial fitted and facing Crystal Palace, any other ideas on how I can gain better reception from SE2 area. Just moved from somewhere where the reception was brilliant and now a little piece of me dies each time I switch on the T.V and attempt to try and watch something. Missed that dancing dog and everything! Thanks guys.

Thanks Dave(whose surname is spelt EXACTLY the same way as mine, lol) , I will try that right now. You have really enlightened my thinking on all of this. Just one thing, Although I receive bad reception from all the trash channels I love (being transmitted from CP) which apparently I shouldn't be able to receive anyway, would having my aerial facing CP enable me to better receive them as well as all standard channels or should I stick with Woolwich and try to pick up better signal persevering with that?
