The entire process of obtaining a quote, and arranging for a technician was extremely easy. The staff were very responsive and arranged for a technician to attend our site within the same week.We had Anthony come out to install the Antenna, and he took great care in completing the installation, along with testing all the TV points. I'd highly recommend Australian Antennas.

Highly recommend Australian Security and Antennas.The service provided by Matt the technician when installing my security system was absolutely brilliant. Diligent, thorough and high quality, not to mention polite, courteous and patiently answered all my silly questions. He is knowledgeable in the products he installs and was extremely helpful when I had problems (user issues not system) and came out again to assist. Matt the owner also provided excellent customer service, making time for me when ever I called. This company actually cares about their customers!

Thanks to Gordon who came to fix our TV reception problem. He only need to take a look at the antenna and immediately know what the problem is. The problem was resolved within 10 minutes after he changed the parts. He is very professional and efficient.

On time, quick response, relocated aerial and improved signal strength for channels 2 and 10. Submitting a photo of the finished work was great. May consider including the bearing used for aerial orientation as part of the finished report/invoice.

Choosing The Best TV Antenna: 5 Useful Tips

Date: Oct 31, 2017
Categories: News

Being able to enjoy your favourite entertainment for free requires the need of the best outdoor tv antenna to match your needs. Some individuals may find that, depending on your location, simple rabbit ears suffice, whereas other individuals may need to opt for outdoor antenna installation in Melbourne in order to enjoy uninterrupted viewing.

Thus, if you are in the market of choosing the best tv antenna to suit your needs, you may want to include the following 5 tips in order to make an informed decision.

1. Choose a bigger size the further away.

Locating your nearest tower will determine the size of your antenna. It’s important to remember that, the further away you move from the signal tower, the bigger your outdoor tv antenna needs to be. According to KCCI, “As you move further toward the outer limit of 80 miles or so from the towers, the antenna needs to get bigger and higher, perhaps using an antenna tower that extends beyond the rooftop.”

2. Need to receive VHF channels?

If you’re set on receiving VHF-channels, opting for an outdoor tv antenna would be the best option. However, if choosing rabbit ears is your number one choice, there’s always the option of adding a UHF/VHF signal joiner in order to combine your UHF antenna with a pair of rabbit ears. Remember, you can have the best of both worlds if you’re informed, knowing exactly what you need in order to achieve it.

3. Keep the receiving quality in mind.

Taking into consideration that an outdoor tv antenna will always receive a higher quality tv channels compared to an indoor tv antenna, it’s always advisable to choose an outdoor tv antenna instead. Some homeowners choose an outdoor tv antenna to place inside the attic (depending on the signal strength) thus, it isn’t always necessary to place your outdoor tv antenna outside. Always keep the receiving quality in mind when shopping for the best tv antenna.

4. Figure out where local broadcasters are situated.

Being able to receive free broadcasting channels requires having to know where the broadcasting towers are situated. Luckily, there are websites that offer this type of information such as AntennaWeb and BroadcastAustralia – offering the right type of information to help you make an informed decision when choosing the best tv antenna.

5. Directional or omnidirectional?

GroundedReason states, “Directional TV antennas are antennas designed to pick up signals in the direction you point them. Omni-directional antennas are designed to pick up channels in all directions. This tradeoff off is done by focusing the antenna gain, which is different from amplifier gain.”

In order to receive a better picture and sound quality, keeping the above-mentioned tv antenna buying guide in mind will enable you to make an informed decision – especially if you know absolutely nothing about what’s needed when choosing the best outdoor or indoor tv antenna.

At the end of the day, being as informed as possible when choosing the best tv antenna will prevent having to spend additional money and time to achieve the broadcasting quality you’re after.
