All you can do is try to keep going and hope you last one month more than the other company down the road and you get any work that might have gone his way. At least your tax bill goes down. all we can hope for is a realy poor winter this year with no snow and 100 mph winds. I realy hated going on a roof with 6 inch of snow on it and -16 not fun. Out side it is teaming down with rain 5 years ago i would have had at least 3 to 4 calls even on a sunday not any more hopefuly monday will bring a few calls. Before the switchover i used to order stock every week or every other week last time i went 4 weeks between orders thats when you know you are quiet.

Wol sorry but one of our bigest problems is trees. If the tree is 200 yards the problem is with the movement of the tree causing the signal to break up. If the problem is just one tree could moving your aerial to the side of your house cause your aerial to miss the tree . If your wall is strong you could have a large mast fitted the largest mast we fit is 20 ft but this looks dreadfull, and cost a lot. Your only other solution might be freesat. Have a local aerial rigger come and have a look dont use the national free phone riggers. Hope this helps

Mazbar: Jessica was the other box the aerial riggers fitted pluged into the mains. If it was it could be a power suply this has to be pluged in at all times if you unpluged it it will knock all your tv's off check that. Also if your vcr is not a digital one and your tv is just plug the aerial straight into the tv hope this helps.

Mazbar: Ian as much as i dislike sparks doing my job it doesnt stop there. I was watching help my house is falling down on c4. The idoits who owned the house had let it fall down around them to the point no power was on downstairs. They needed a full re wire cost £5000 but to save them money the presenter told them to put tge cables in themselfs. If they had messed up a spark wiuld have to come in and re do everything himself and still charge the full amount. The show made it sound easy to put the wires in but yiu still need to plan where things go dont you. So i am nit down on sparks but i do feel every man to his own job not a jack of all trades.

Hannah do you have an amplifier to feed the two tv's or two aerials if it is an amplifier is it switched on or has it been unpluged. If you have two aerials have they fallen down either you might need to call a local aerial man not an 0800 number. Hope this helps

Kb a man after my own heart i work 7 days a week but only 8 am till 3 pm i wirk weekends for my customers who work in the week. While my daughter was at junior school i picked her up from school every day. I on the other hand dont over charge £85 for a log periodic fully installed £59 for a rx12 clip on to an extra room and if they need a very high gain like a unix 52 £ 130 i think very reasonable. A word of warning to all riggers out there when you transmitter changes to full digital yiu will get lots of work short term, tune in and a few new aerials but after that the work drys up. Here on the winter hill transmiter the signal is so strong even with an aerial that is broken in half and pointing the wrong way they still get great signal. This has problems gor our customers today went to a house that had water pouring down the coax for at least a year and they didnt know. My work has allmost halfed since the switchover all you can do is make the most of the work that comes in.
